I don't run much faster than that most days! I don't know why. Going to work on that with my garmin. But it does feel good to be able to keep going, not all out and die like most at the gym.
There is a training method of low heart rate training too.. i subsribed to a thread somewhere.. think it was on runningahead.com

Very cool! I'm trying to decide which race to do next. There are several in the same time frame for some reason in October.

Welcome p31! Yep, it starts one step at a time.
Here I am, less than 3 weeks from my marathon and I think I'm injured! Sunday I wsa trying to keep my dog from eating something I dropped. I ended up kicking him in the head. I caught him with the inside of my left ankle. It was fine Sunday, but yesterday and today when I ran on it, I could certainly feel it. Uh oh...
That said, I had a great ride this morning. It was fun riding through a school zone, keeping pace with traffic! Then, I did a 3mile run. I felt like I was slogging, but I actually managed a 8:53pace. I'll take it!

Good Luck on the turkey trot!. I have lost my mind, I went to the "mizuno shoe truck" and waited over an hour to get the fitting done.. they felt good and will be next shoes. But it was in the cold and rain! LOL. Oh I got a free long sleeve tech shirt too, so that wasn't bad.
So I might join the shoe stores running club since i haven't heard from the gym one..

And here are some for Duane. We'll never have to look for his bib number in pictures again.
First of all, Stella, congrats on your great time! That's absolutely sanfrantastic!! Now, as to your suggestion for my running tights? Are you kidding me?! If I were to wear those tights, at my size, people would run from the course screaming, "Run for your lives!!! There's a comet coming down the street!!! HEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!
Just kidding, Stella! Actually, my size is dropping - I've lost 93 pounds as of this week! That's a huge mile stone in my life, but I've still got another 72 pounds to go before I'm at Goal. But I'm getting there one step at a time (Pun intended!).
Sorry for being away for so long, gang, but I've had quite a roller coaster lately with my father-in-law's health. And my Mom just found out that she needs a breast biopsy on Oct. 16th. There's a suspicious mass in her left breast, but the surgeon (whom we've known for nearly 30 years) told me that because the mass moves (in other words, it's not attached to the inner wall), that is cause for some optimism.
My running right now is more for maintenance, not training, although I need to ramp it up if I'm going to do that Half-marathon relay in November. And I still haven't gotten my new shoes, which is something that I really need to do ASAP if I'm to have them broken in for the race.
Gotta go!
Duane

Giggles--I've never been part of a running group. What are those groups like you're trying to join?

Aw...did you get scared? If it makes you feel any better, I've never actually seen anyone run in those tights. Ha ha!

I went out to run and was trying to go sloooooow and keep my heart rate in my target zone, etc. I finished and checked my watch and I had been running for 58:00!!! That's like at 14-something pace. lol I was just enjoying myself and got carried away, I guess. The amazing thing is that I RAN THE ENTIRE TIME...never stopped once! Just a slow steady pace for that whole time. What a goober. 
(A journey of a thousand miles... 
) I've run races in years past, DH is a beginning runner, and we're aiming to be ready for a turkey trot come Thanksgiving.
(And you know him, too! 
Am not. I'm quite positive I feel my mortality 1 minute into a run.
