The last time I ran a timed mile was back on March 3 when I clocked in at 9:30. Since I’m done with training for the 5K for awhile, I decided to give the 9:20 mile a go. I started with a 9:22 pace but it was a bit easy, so I bumped it up. And when that wasn’t enough, I bumped it up again. I ended up running the last minute at a 7.0 pace. Should’ve kicked it up a notch and made it a 9-minute mile. That way, my March goal would’ve been accomplished. Oh well, it’ll happen tomorrow.
I think I’m going to start aiming for the 8:30 mile now. That doesn’t seem too bad. Plus, if I can decrease my individual mile times, I can improve upon my 5K time, which I want to run in 34 minutes (11-minute pace).
Running goals are slowly being accomplished!
I know it says 10:08, but that’s because I use the first minute for a walking warm-up.

Jess! I’m so proud of, and inspired by you. Keep up the good work. And don’t beat yourself up so much
You’re doing great, and right by you. At this rate, you’ll more than certainly meet all your goals. And more! Im predicting a global takeover by 2011.
much love xx
KATY! Would you be down to run/walk a 5K when I get back east?! I miss your face
Thanks for the support, I appreciate it. I think I’m gonna get Scot to run a 5K sometime in June. You coming back to Cali any time soon?
Wow your speedy! I’m waiting for the local track to be snow free and dry to start doing the speedwork.
WAY to go girlie….
That pic made me smile…Iknow that felt GREAT huh!
It felt GREAT. I was pretty impressed. 5K A Day improved my speed drastically. It’s insane!
Very nice work Jess! I have no clue how fast (or slow) I can run a mile in at this point – but I’m sure I can’t do it in 9 minutes
Keep up the great work!
