Running is coming along.  My first real running fitness test was a 5K the Sunday before last. I finished in 20:40, well off my PR of 20:04 last Labor Day.  I was disappointed, but not really surprised.  I’m coming off a lull in my running, and I’m a few pounds heavier than I was for that last 5K.  Training is going pretty well, and my mileage is increasing, so I’m confident of improving soon.  My first goal is to get that 5K time under 20 minutes before mid-summer.  Then I’ll concentrate on training for a 10K, with my goal of running under 40 minutes by the end of the year, before I run the California International Marathon again in December.

No progress on weight loss so far, due to lack of discipline.
