Training Log

Should have taken a picture of the treamill, but yesterday I ran 3.1 in 18:33...AND it felt easy! I really want to race, but will have to wait till fall. That new workout I wrote out, the one you have to do outside for several minutes at what you think is your race pace and then a few minutes rest is really making a difference. I really think I can go even faster. Could you imagine ME running in the 17's? ooooo!
