Too much thinking on my last post. I've decided I can't change everything overnight; I will run longer stretches (thanks, JavaMom) but will surely still need [less frequent] walk breaks since I am a newbie pushing-40-adult-onset-athlete-wannabe-HMer.
In short, I am just going to shut up and run for a while.
Here are the stats for today's SUPER daylight run:
3 miles
39:18 (13:06/mile)
No walk breaks today, woo hoo. 5 yr old son was "helping" me by counting down my laps, running around the track himself and giving me hugs at the end of each lap--between his running with me holding my hand and "racing" the various runners and walkers on the local track, the kid seriously must have done two miles. And somehow, the men playing football on the field and the other grownups circling the track, well, they all knew his name by the end of our time there because he was a pip:-)
In conclusion, it was not a fast run, but a a solid jog and a priceless 39 minutes of mommy-son time:-)

YOU ROCK!
I love that!! I really want to incorporate my kids into my running more...nah...nevermind. LOL
I am glad you typed out your thoughts because I often really ponder the same things. Glad you found something useful in my rambles yesterday. :>) I have to ramble if I can't run.
W-A-Y T-O G-O!!! Some people are so concerned with trying to do what they "think" they should be doing, instead of figuring out what works for them that they get tired, frustrated, and quit. Finding your own comfort zone is so important. I, too, have found that if I run slower, I can run the whole way too. Sometimes, that's just what I need. Hee, hee. Running with the kiddos ROCKS!
How fun! Nice job, wannabe!
