I achieved TWO of my goals today!
*running 3 miles straight
*running for 30 minutes straight
After my pilates class I went upstairs to the indoor track. I decided to do something similar to this past Wednesday. After a warm up walk of 200m I set to running. The first mile was a 1-1 rotation (1 normal pace, 1 pushing it, repeat) followed by 2-2 (2 normal, 2 pushing it, repeat) for mile 2 then another 1-1 for mile 3. The 3rd mile was a spur of the moment let me see if I can do it decision. Of course now I am kicking myself because I should have gone that extra .1 to have made it a 5k...oh well, I'm sure I can achieve that next time.
Before starting this I had set my watch to what I thought was 20 minutes (I had had a vague idea of at least running that long) but had in actuality set it to 20 hours. Smart, I know. At any rate, it allowed me to figure out that I had done my 3 miles in 35 minutes. Not too shabby.
Now another goal I need to add is 3 miles straight OUTSIDE. With hills. And heat. And humidity. And horseflies. Lol Bring it on!

Woo hoo!! You know, I recall hearing that 3 miles is a big psychological barrier as far as further distances goes. Congrats!
I mean a barrier to get past, that is!
Lol. :-) Thanks for the encouragement!
