Week 3 - Thursday - February 9, 2006

Another cold day, but still no precipitation.....that is good. I figure that I can still run outside as long as it doesn't rain or snow. I do have a treadmill downstairs, but even with Sports Center on....it still seems like a longer run.

Since it's Thursday and a short run today and a day off tomorrow, I again tried to pick up the pace. It wasn't easy, but for the first time, I ran under 9 minute miles and knocked off just over a minute from my previous best time. The knee feels good...I feel good, although tired.

Three miles done!
