I went for another run today, 3 miles at 9 minutes each. Given that two weeks ago I was doing 3 miles at 12-13 minutes each, I think that's quite an improvement. Still not near my cross country days in high school of 7 minute miles, but I'll get there.
My brother's coming to town this week, that'll be fun - finally have someone to run with. Although I admit my iPod is pretty good company and the Nike+ thing is really sweet! It tracks my pace for me, so I can take pride that my split times were all around 9 minutes for the run instead of the speed up, slow down stuff that I was doing at the beginning of my training. Planning to do some of these 5k philanthropy runs as they come along. Sadly the Jingle Bell run for arthritis isn't happening in Houston. But I'll do all the ones I can. And then was planning on next summer doing a mini-marathon.
And yes Adam and Ben, I know I'm old.
