Whew! Just made it in. 1 mile on the treadmill:
0.25 - 8:30
0.25 - 7:30
0.25 - 6:40
0.25 - 6:00
Fun times!
Because of a post on reddit, 2012 is the year I attempt at least 1 mile a day. I figure, if the OP can do it and qualify for the Olympic Trials, I can do it to get to 3:30! OK, it's not just 1 mile a day, it's at least 1 mile a day. If I can keep this streak going, I hope it will motivate my solo training. RUN!

The start and 4 days in
So, I'm starting this a bit late.. Ok.. 4 DAYS late, but here we go (from reverse order.. that's newest first)
January 7, 2012 (Saturday)
1 Mile:
On the treadmill:
0.25 10min/mi
0.25 8:30min/mi
0.25 6:40min/mi
0.25 6:00min/mi
Ran in barefoot just to try it. Also had my cold gear on: sweat pants, 3 shirts, rain gear jacket. Again, just to try it. Tomorrow's going to be the start of the 5K every Sunday with the Ops Lab Team! w00t! Let's see how long we can keep THAT streak! :)

Did a double today:
12:30PM Lunch Time run: 5 miles
Trail JPL typical lunch time run, but was really hungry at the last mile. This was because I only had a bag of chips and a coke for snack. OK, maybe that's not the best, wisest, or even healthiest thing to do, but man, was I hungry! To finish the afternoon had a huge cafeteria roast beef sandwich.
8:00AM Morning run to work: 5 miles
January 5, 2012 (Thursday)
12:15PM Lunch Time run: 5 miles
January 4, 2012 (Wednesday)
12:00PM Lunch Time run: 5 miles
I was running in the new year and it hit me after reading this post on reddit /r/running it was time to man up and get serious about my running goals, which directly correlates with my life goals. Without running, I don't know what I would do. It's in my blood. It was written by someone who qualified for the Olympic trials after persevering 1 year of running. Heck if she can do it, I can certainly do a sub 3:30 by the end of 2012.. Yeah. sub-3:30 baby.
