Another New Time

WOW! That is about all I have to say about today’s run. I continue to run better every day that I run. Today’s 3 mile run was good, and felt great, considering my legs still felt a little tired and sore from Saturday’s 7 mile run.

The weather was not as good today as it was on Saturday, but I also got a later start than I wanted to. I got up and started my run around 9:15 this morning. The temperature for my run today was about 72 degrees. The humidity was high again, around 87%, since they are calling for thunderstorms and rain sometime today.

When I started my run the sun was out, but about half way through my run, it started to cloud up and looked like it was going to storm. I knew that I had another mile and a half to run still and didn’t want to get caught in a thunderstorm, so I picked up my pace a little bit. I didn’t care about the rain, but the thunder and lightning is not something I want to be out running in.

I guess I picked up my pace, even though I still finished my first mile in under 11 minutes, more than I thought I did because I finished my 3 mile run in 30:10, which is a 10:03 minute mile. That is 28 seconds faster than my fastest time running 3 miles. I guess the threat of a thunderstorm will make a person run just a little bit faster. Even though I ran the fastest 3 miles of life, I felt great and am really enjoying training for this marathon.
