Operation Run a 12 Minute Mile is officially beginning tomorrow. God help me...and my legs! Today at lunch with JB, one of my best friends/OT/running coach, we were talking about races and running. The past 2 years I have set a goal of walking/running 100 miles during Lent. This year I am focusing on my speed...not just during Lent, but just as an overall running goal. Let me be honest..I am s.l.o.w. Very slow. I know I am. It's just a fact. But it doesn't have to stay that way. Now, we all know that I won't ever be knocking out 6 minute miles, but I know that I can be faster than my current speed. So my goal is to be able to run a 12 minute mile by Easter Sunday which is March 31. For those of you without a calendar handy, that is 7 weeks away. Two years ago, I trained for a half-marathon in 7 weeks, so surely I can knock 3 1/2 minutes off my current mile...right?!? Here's hoping...and the training starts tomorrow! Stay tuned....
