There She Goes!

Today's mileage: 6 miles baby!

Mile 1 - 10:40. I decided to run this one all out, taking no walk breaks. Towards the end I was ready to fall over, but I like to run fast miles every once in a while to remind myself of what I'm actually capable of.
Mile 2 - 13:42. That's because I had to walk 3 minutes to recover from mile 1. :)
Mile 3 - 12:20

At this point, I made it back to my car and f***ed around for about 5 minute, getting my iPod shuffle out of my car, refilling my water bottles, trying to decide if I wanted to go another lap around Memorial. I didn't feel all that great, so I decided to do another one (using reverse psychology on myself, I guess). But I was going to take the last three miles a bit slower.

Mile 4 - 13:13
Mile 5 - 13:14
Mile 6 - 13:20.

I'm getting ready for the LLR this Saturday with the Striders. But, at this point, 13 miles isn't impossible. I didn't do a long run this past weekend, so my legs will feel pretty fresh.

Or at least, that's what I keep telling myself.

Today's goals: movies (Blood Diamond!), finish Christmas shopping (I have one present left for my sister to acquire), run errands for those who have to work this week, and get some reading done. Oh, and continue editing my script. I'm getting it ready to send to the competitions this year!

Cheers!
