Another 3 on the treadmill.  Blah.  3 minutes faster than yesterday, so that's 1 minute per mile faster (in case you couldn't do the mental math).  Here's the worst thing about my workout today: I realized when I got to the gym that I had forgotten my MP3 player.  I'm sure that running 3 miles for most people doesn't take long enough for them to get bored, but it takes me quite a long time, so I was pretty much bored from the start.  I made it, though, and promised myself that I wouldn't do that again.

I'm kind of regretting telling Paul that I wanted to do a New Year's Eve 5k because I think he's going to hold me to it.  Also, we've recruited some others, so there will be more witnesses.  Oh well, at least it's something to do.  We haven't really done anything for New Year's Eve in a while.  It'll be fun, despite being cold. I guess I should probably try to get some more outdoor running in before then so that it isn't too much of a shock.

Good job going faster! Treadmills are boring even with music, let alone without. I would love to do a New Year's race. I am sure you will have fun, and what a statement--starting the year running!

3...that's great..and faster...I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how much you enjoy the 5K. After all your hard work and dedication you should look forward to it like a reward. And if you run a good time Paul will be so proud he'll take you out to dinner and shower you with praise...it will be fun. :)

Gooooo Stacy! What a great way to end the year. I bet that wasn't even one of your New Year's Resolutions, and yet, here you are, running a race in 2007. I am EXCITED to read your race report. Yep, you've got no choice now...
