3 Miles - 33 min. 36 sec.

It has been less than two months since my half marathon. One month since my last 5 mile run. I feel like I am starting all over again. I guess it is not like totally starting over, I could at least run for the entire 33 minutes.

My new contacts shall be honored by being thrown in the trash and I will order new shoes tomorrow. Yippee!

New Challenge

I have set two new goals for myself:
A) continue to run
B) run next year's discovery 1/2 marathon faster than I did this year.

I am already a novice runner so that is something that I don't have to work towards. However, now that I am a novice I can't just sit around. It takes effort to maintain novice status. Even greater effort to move up to intermediate runner... We shall see if that is possible.

In order for me to maintain my newly acquired running habit - which has been almost ignored for six weeks now - I will need some new shoes and running duds. I also want an exercise ball. I have wanted one from the beginning so its not like an impulse buy. I guess I will also have to do some running...
