Today's run

I ran three miles today at a 9:57 average pace. That's faster than the 5K we did on Saturday. What is happening to me? I honestly never thought I'd break a 10-minute mile. Now I want to see how much faster I can go.

But I'm taking tomorrow off from running. Partly because I don't want to overdo it, but mostly because I have an appointment at 7:15, then I have to work, and then right after work I go to my first Marathon 501 class! Time to start getting ready for the Free Press Marathon. I'm excited and terrified.

Keep me posted on your marathon training class - it will be interesting to hear what you're doing/learning with it!

Wendy - I will keep you informed! Sounds like the Wednesday night classes will be hill work and speed work, and then Saturday mornings are the long runs. I won't be going to the long runs because the place they do it is way too far from David's house. My running buddy Vicki and I will meet elsewhere on Saturdays.
