Getting Stronger Every Day

It was one of those grey days that have been so common here in the Shenandoah Valley this winter.  It sounds like this weekend is going to shake some of that winter cold and greyness.  I didn’t set out to run as strong as I did today.  It is nice to run at the same place everytime.  It makes it easier to compare.

I was able to run 3.9 miles in 45:56.  That makes my minutes per mile 11:46.  This is the first time I have run a sub 12 minute mile for that distance.  I was able to run the first lap (1.3 miles) in 14:45 or an 11:20 minute mile (WOW!)  The first two laps combined were 30 minutes even for a 11:32 minute mile.  At this rate, I’ll be closing in on an eleven minute mile before too long.

All of this makes me very excited.  Pressing On!
