First (full) Running workout

I'm still in the out out season (week 3), which means I haven't actually started to ramp up my training.  That's good, because at this point, I don't feel like I've really committed.  It's disappointing because in the past, I've been really good at putting my workouts on the calender and working them in.  So that's the negative.

The positive ... yesterday I completed my first full running workout, so I choose to dwell on the positive rather than the negative.  Yesterday's workout involved a 45 minute run with two 1.5 mile intervals with my heart rate in zone 4 with four minutes of easy jogging as "rest" in between each interval.  In terms of pace, each 1.5 mile interval ended up being about a 7:15/mile pace ... slower than I would like, but better than it could have been had I not trained for the 1/2 marathon.  I hope to have these workouts below 7 minute miles.  Still, I felt good about getting it done (after work no less), and hope that this will put me on the road to serious training going forward.  NO MORE EXCUSES!

Note: I can't find the dock for my Garmin, which means (1) I can't share the run at this point (I'll add it when / if I find the dock), (2) I can't upload workouts to my watch (bad), and (2) I can't charge my watch (worst!).  Guess I know what I'll be doing tonight when I get home.
