Is 6 the new 3?
Call me a chicken, but I ran on the treadmill again tonight. Why? Because I freaked out and thought a thunderstorm was coming. It turns out the storm was actually moving AWAY from me, but whatever.
I completed my dreaded 6 miles on the treadmill. Six miles. Let's see, that used to be the longest distance I had ever run. Now, it's just an ordinary weekday run, no different than say, a 3? Crazy how this training thing works.
Time:
72 minutes
Splits:
12 minute miles 1-3
11:32 minute miles 3-6
3 brief walk breaks

i love that you write that. i totally think that often. "today's easy is a 5 miler? ok. no problem." with relief, i think that, knowing my workout will be lite and easy. a few months ago, 5 miles would be my hard day!
it's a cool feeling and also a funny one. when i was little, you know, 12, 13 or even 25, id be like, i'm a star athlete. and oh i ran 2 miles, i can eat that mcdonalds burger.
glad you're back on track, stef, keep it up but better, stay healthy!
i'm totally with you... for some reason 3 is harder for me than 6 now... definitely dont know what thats about!!!
but you're awesome to have not skipped the run for fear of rain..... elliptical or not, you did it! nice job!!
you totally amaze me. Unlike partyrunner and a., I still think six miles is a freakin' long way to run and I NEVER do six miles during my weekday runs! nevermind on a treadmill!!
what is WRONG with me?!?! I wanna be more like you!
OK, now I have to go listen to the Louis Prima version of Jungle Book (oobie doo, I wanna be like you, doobity doo..).
