August 4: 3-mile run


I'm getting to be pretty happy with my 3-mile times. I went for a not-so-hard run tonight, mostly as a cool-down from yesterday's intervals, but I still came in at 20:11. Knowing that I could run under 20 minutes at will is pleasing.

I'm starting to really wish I had a 1-mile race to compete in. It would be so much easier to meet my goal in a race; it's just too dang easy to ease off on the pedal when I'm running alone.

Random mile trivia:

The current American record-holder in the 1600M run is Alan Webb with a time of 3:47. In 2001 he ran a sub 4-minute mile, being the first American high school runner to break the mark in 36 years.
