Yep, I made my goal of running the 3 mile course on the lake front path non-stop. I walked the mile to the path and even ran a little to 'warm up'. Stretched some too before I took off. Take off is probably not the right wording. I began to shuffle! No I ran but didn't feel very good for most of the run. I was sucking air after about 200 yards and never really settled into a nice rhythm. I don't know. Seems like I can't get it all going at the same time: Legs, breathing, whatever.
But I did it and it wasn't too ugly. I'm just looking for a time when there is a more enjoyable part to the run. I've experienced this in the past where you just feel like you're going for a ride on your legs. I'm hoping for that again and I think will happen if I just keep plugging away. I'll stick with this distance in the coming week but maybe go the other way on the path just to mix things up a bit.

Good job geting it done even though you felt like crap. Look you are already a marathon runner! My suggestion is to keep with 3 miles for awhile now. Maybe 2 miles M, W, F and then 3 on Sundays. Jason and I did that routine for about a month to 6 weeks. Until it was super easy then jumpig into training will be easy. We'll make a plan today.
