Week 6 - Wednesday - March 1, 2006

Since yesterday went so well on the treadmill, I decided to do my 8 miles on it as well. It did not go as well. After less than 2 miles, I was already walking. I did manage to run a mile at a time, but had to walk fairly often. It took me more than an hour and 45 minutes to do 8 miles. At that pace, I won't finish the race in the required 6 hours. I'm glad it is now March and the temperature should hopefully start cooperating for the remainder of my training.

8 miles done!
