Today's run my goal was just to run a whole mile faster. So I started at a 5 instead of the 4 that I've been going with and worked my way up to a 6.2 at the very end. It was tough. I was winded, running harder than I have been so far. I had been averaging just around 12 minutes per mile with minimal effort so I was hoping to make it around 11:30 or so, and I was pleasantly surprised when I came in just under 11 minutes, with a 10:56!! Woo hoo!! It hurt, but I did it.
For my next run (whenever that will be) my goal will be to run 2 miles at a slower pace. I need to add some distance to my workouts as well as speed, so I will try to vary my focus. I don't have a lot of time before the race, so my expectations aren't too high, but we will see what I can do!
