We amateure athletes...

First off-- I ran a mile today in 9 minutes! Yay! 2 min off!

I have been adding some sprinting into my workout to help start increasing my speed overall. Tomorrow I need to wake up early enough to go run 3 miles. I think Mike and I are going to turn into morning birds instead of night owls.

I was reading in Runner's World Magazine about various people's PRs (personal records) and am not sure if I feel encouraged or discouraged. You know what? I feel in awe. I am in awe if other people's achievements. I long for the day when I am truly impressed by my achievements. I suppose this would be one of the forces propelling me forward. I can do it. I have proved to myself that I can run a complete 3 miles in one day. I have a plan of attack suggested my boy friend's athletic sister against the pain that started in my IT band and I am going to press on!

Tomorrow is another day! I look forward to lacing my shoes and running.

Mantra when I run "You're doing it! You can do it. Keep going. Press on!"
