The Challenge of 4 Miles - Last Run at the Gym

Today we headed to the gym. I believe this is our last visit to the gym before we leave Chicago. So another good bye today. I have loved FFC - www.ffc.com. It's the first gym I have ever belonged to, and it served me well. I discussed this a bit in yesterday's post I believe.

FFC was my first personal training experience. I could not have asked for someone better than Josh. I was worried about him being a "body Nazi" he could not have been more supportive or nicer. All in all a great guy and excellent trainer.

Scott was the manager when I started at the gym, and was also head of the marathon training program. He guided me through the 2007 Chicago Marathon, then developed a plan for me for the Indianapolis Monumental this last year. Both these men have been 100% supportive of my efforts and I thank them.

Today's run was a challenging 4 miles. 2 miles I used the hill program. I need to work on this, and I could tell I was not in great hill shape. Still I ran the 4 miles in jut a shade over 46 minutes. That was really good. I worked up quite a sweat in this run, and was satisfied with the run. Overall a good running week.
