The oxygen is less there so it will be harder to feel like you can get your breathe. Congratulations on your success!

The last few years after the Indy Mini I would completely drop off from a consistent exercise regimen struggling to get maybe one or two runs in a week and even those were of poor quality and then in the fall/winter I would start training again. This year I really want to try to stay up with it, but I'm going to have to sign up for another race--I need to have something that will keep me on a plan. Last week I got a total of 15 miles as kind of a "recovery week" and then this past Monday night I ran 12.5 miles and felt pretty good. I think for me being over 40 the key is going to be to incorporate some x-training and weights (which I don't do, but know I should!). Do you do weights/strength training?

I agree that sometimes we just have to force ourselves. Very early mornings can be challenging. I am trying to figure out how to get my runs in once summer starts. I am considering going for my run before my husband goes to work. So that means EARLY. We shall see. Keep up the great work! Kristen Christine-That is awesome.

I do an interval walk/jog which I love. I just wish it could do more for my belly. When I get home from work I am tired but I force myself. I could probably do a 1 mile walk/jog early AM but it is tough to get up do the workout and then go to work. I think I will give it a shot though. Congrats on back to running. Take it easy! I am a lifetime member of WW but gained some back. I have ten pounds to go to reach goal again. I try to walk at least 4 miles every day. I do an interval walk/jog which I love.
