Baseline is Over: Time to Run for Real

I thought I'd post a run every once in a while to keep everyone updated on my progress. It is NOT easy, I am learning, to go faster. Anyway, today was a decent one (you really thought I'd post the crappy ones?), so here's the report:

3 miles
Mile 1: 8:50
Mile 2: 8:54
Mile 3: 8:48

Total: 26:32
Avg pace: 8:51
Max pace: 7:31

Tomorrow, I go to the track for some speed work if it's not snowing. Yes, snowing!

what time are you aiming for at the 5k?

I'd like to finish in under 27 minutes.

26:00 would be even better.

Gosh you guys are way ahead of me. I'm goin for a 30 min time. Pretty sure I'll be able to do it if I can figure out how to pace myself!

You are so going to go sub-30!!! My first sub-30 was just this past June.
