Welcome to the blog. Where are you located? I could use a little humid running instead of the cold dry desert running im used to!

Hey, 4 miles slow is better than no miles! Pat yourself on the back for getting out there. Welcome to the blog!

You would get better results if you got out 6 days a week. Maybe a couple of miles a day on the days you do not normally run if time is what limits you. Otherwise, try for something like this - 3-4 miles a day every day, and maybe 6 on the weekend. Keep the pace slow, slower than you think you should be going. Nothing wrong with a 12:00 mile pace if that is what it takes to cover the distance without excessive fatigue or soreness. The aerobic benefits are essentially the same, but the chance of injury is much lower.

An amazing run.  Definitely the best of the year, maybe the best ever.  Weather was perfect.  Ran with Tracy and we pushed each other.  Best feeling.

A let down, considering Monday's amazing run.  Early in the morning, so kinda tired.  Also, very stiff from Great America yesterday.

Ran six miles in Rantoul while I was in town for Farmer's wedding.  Tracy ran with me for the first four.  Early morning runs are never easy for me.  I am always tired and stiff.  It wasn't until I got to mile six that I really started to feel loose.

Very hot and humid.  Made a slow run slower.

Had to fight the morning stiffness for this run.  Pretty humid this morning which made things that much worse.  Listened to the first side of The Who, Live at the Isle of Wight.
