On the run
30 miles so far this month. The running thing has ramped up considerably. My standard runs are now 3.2 and 4.0 miles.
I am still quite slow, but can comfortably jog several 9 minute miles as often as I wish. This won’t sound like much to real runners, but it is an order of magnitude better than I could do even back in January. It’s the improvement that’s bringing the motivation these days.
I’ve been really enjoying the NewBalance love/hate commercials lately; they really seem to nail the running mentality. Here’s a link to one.
Let’s see if I can hit 40 miles this month and add some speed in June…
