First mile was part of another workout.  I have no idea how fast or slow it was. I was told to run a course so that is what I did. 

The second 3 miles was done as a 1/2 mile warm up, 7:30 pace 1 mile, 1/2 mile resting jog at 10 minute pace, 1/2 mile at 6:49 pace, 1/2 mile cool down. finishied the 3 miles in 25 minutes. The half mile at 6:49 was difficult so I guess I need to do that more.

1 mile in 8:45 as part of another workout. Not even a fast mile. I don't know how I'm going to start running more but I need to figure it out. Hopefully the cold will go away soon.

again, part of another workout. didn't time it this go round just ran it as fast as I could. I felt like puking afterward so I assume the pace was pretty good.

This was supposed to be a long run but it ended up just taking a long time. I didn't know how steep this trail was and I only had an hour to get something in. I made it a ways up the Ed's Peak trail before running out of time and having to come back down. Still, even with the shortness of the run, it felt really good to be out on the trail again!
