Well, I had another really good run this morning. Total running time was 32:34! Yep, better then Monday's time! It is that first mile that is really dragging me down. For the past couple of weeks (actual running weeks, that is!) I've been consistently clocking in at 11:37 or so. But if not that exact time, just a few seconds off. My final two miles are where I'm seeing marked time improvement. So I'll need to focus on that first mile a bit more. I suppose my body is warming up in mile 1. Maybe I should do some hill work to help with my pace.
The other thing I am excited about is that I got a new pair of running shoes! For the first time in probably three years. Yeah, that's bad. I know. I am really excited to give them a try tomorrow.

Glad you got some new shoes! Gotta have them if you're going to be running all the time. If that first mile is a problem, why not just skip it and start at mile 2? Sounds like a plan to me. I'm walking inside every day now. Too cold out there. Only +6 when I got up this morning. Last day with the Beatles for a while. On to Billy Joel tomorrow. Have a good day.
As usual, excellent plan! I should have discussed this with you ages ago! Today my first mile was 11:30. 7 seconds better then yesterday.
Brrrr! Six degrees scares me. Thank goodness for the treadmill.
Have fun with Billy!
