Well a week off didn't help.  I had to coach 2 a day camps Mon thru Thurs. for about 10 hours each day.  Then the weekend was filled with 3 days of golf and debauchery... hey, I needed it after busting my tail at volleyball camp this week.  I did get to run a little with the kids and stretch everyday but nothing worth coutntng. I got an email saying 13 weeks until race so tomorrow is my first official day training. I snuck a run in late tonight after dropping off stuff for next week's camps.  28:41.  Decided halfway thru to really go for the 2nd mile and then decided to run the 5K just to see where I would start.  Splits were: 9:35, 8:42, and 9:19 which was pretty much the last .6 up hill.   Speed isn't what I need it to be so hopefully it will come with the loss in weight as well as the training.
