31:09 - Big News!

I had a great run this morning! I ran three miles in 31:09!!! Let me tell, you I was VERY excited! I also did a total of 4 miles, just for the heck of it. 42:04 was my time in total. I'm pretty thrilled because my mile pace was 10:31 over 4 miles.

I did pushups and whatnot upon my return.

Jessica and I walked at lunch - and ran my hill 4 times. She is bitter.

And I gardened after work. So a hecka lot of exercise today. And it wasn't forced. I just did it because I wanted to do it.

Wow! I am impressed once again. Congratulations!

I did the full 3 miles this morning but couldn't run the whole thing. Ran 1.5 north just fine but when I turned around the wind hit me like a wall. Ran another 1/4 mile but then walked 3/4 and then ran the rest of the way home. Will try to keep that up until Friday. After that I'll be off for a week so wonder what shape I'll be in when we get home.

Beautiful morning here but "they" say rain is coming in tonight. I hope they're right.

Have a good day.

Down with wind! That really makes a difference.

You know, I was thinking of another thing that might be making running feel so difficult. Maybe it is too much too soon. Perhaps slowing down, or adding more walking time just a couple of days a week would make a difference in the rest of the days.

How many days will you be gone? I think it really takes a long time to lose what you've got!

Hope you get your rain! I wouldn't count on it though!!
