Iron Martini: K-ron's one-mile run

Tuesday, October 7, 2008

I hate running. I did my very very best.

Drum roll please:

one mile: 11 minutes 31 seconds.

I really ran as hard as I could.

I hate running.

Melanie said...: things to remember -

1. that's how long it took me when i first started running a few (six?) months ago. It's taken me a long time to improve at it.

2. you don't have to run - maybe try Chris's suggestion for the alternative tabata type high intensity in place of the running.

3. you're strong and wonderful; October 7, 2008 at 11:12 AM
