Total Distance

3.00

Ok back to reality.. felt decent this morning but did not move as fast as yesterday. To make up for the inability to really push a fast pace, I initiated my mailbox sprints on the final 3/4 mile. Meaning I sprint from one mailbox to the next (literally as fast as I can run) then I walk to the next one and sprint again. This really takes the wind out of you!! New goal is to combine boxes until I can sprint the entire hill (about .25 miles) full speed to end my 3 mile run.

Welcome to the blog! Sasha gave you some sage advice a couple of days back. So what are your upcoming races?

Welcome to the blog! Um...awkward question coming...are you male or female?

I like to end my runs with a little bit of a fartlek too. Makes me feel triumphant. How long have you been running?

Thanks for the comments. Note this is my first attempt at replying so I hope I get this right(?)

MichelleL:

Thanks for the welcome...Currently I am planning on running the ING Georgia Marathon in Atlanta @ the end of March.

Lybi:

Thanks for the welcome.. I am a male... and have not seriously ran before. I have participated and completed 3 1/2 marathons but did not train for them.. just got a few runs in the week before the race and jumped out and ran them. The last race made me want to start training and complete a full marathon. My goal is to qualify for the Boston.
