Commitment time

Three of us are signed up for the Dallas Marathon, which is Dec. 3. So, the decision is made and money is spent. Between now and then I just need to get into shape. There's plenty of time.

Yesterday we had rain and lightning, so I went to the gym and ran on the treadmill, putting in 60 minutes and running 6.32 miles. The average was right at 9:30, but I had a few miles between 9:05 and 9:13.

Today there was no rain for a change, but it was mid 80s and very humid. I decided to go only about 4 miles and to take it easy. I walked out of the neighborhood so I wouldn't have to run up all the hills, then chugged along at an easy pace. The overall average pace was 9:55, and I did 4.23 miles.
