Ran 5K in 31:04 30:58* today, knocking off 1:58 from my previous best. I can do a 10-minute mile! 3 times in a row! WOOOOOO

Yeah! Another convert to the cult of running!

I've been "running" for two or three years. It's just that I typically can't do above 5.7 mph without dying. But today I just ran through the death.

6.0 mph is, btw, apparently the minimum pace acceptable to be called running rather than jogging.

Never going to do an ultramarathon, though. :)

Or so you say now. <--bad influence

Go you for the sudden drastic increase in speed.

I'm not sure where it came from. But if I can get back into, and surpass, the shape I was in when thewronghands and I did a 4-miler in 85-degree heat in Virginia two summers ago, I'll be happy about it.

If I can EVER do a single-digit-minute mile, especially if I can do it 3.11 times, that'll be rad. The lower the digit, the better, but I'm not getting any younger. Or skinnier.

Maybe I'll pretend I'm you. I don't mean that to be creepy: Pretending I'm somebody stronger and faster than me actually helps, I find, with running and free weights. Visualization, maaaan.

Love Birds, across the street from Europane, has WiFi.

I didn't check today, though I thought of it. I do want to try their sandwiches, since you mentioned them, but Novel Cafe is a trivial walk from my place, so, it will win out. And the staff are cute.

I will try this Kashmir and running fast...

If you play it about 3.75 times, you will get through the 5K!
