Last week, I saw a FB post from an old friend that mentioned a run streak sponsored by Runners World. The premise: run a minimum of 1 mile per day from Memorial Day to July 4. 39 total days. Now, I don't like running much, and have not run consistently since the mid 90's, but, with my fitness level improving, and my somewhat competitive nature, I bought into this challenge. I'm only 6 days in, but, the results are hard to ignore. Over my last several 5k's, I have averaged 10 - 10:30 minute miles. Slow. After just a week of consistent running, I have booked several sub-9 minute miles. Due to this improvement and my aforementioned competitive nature, I suspect some 10k's, half marathons, and, dare I say, marathons may be worth pursuing. Time will tell.
