Magic!

Apparently, all I have to do is write about wanting something in my blog, and it magically happens! ;-)

I wrote yesterday about having to pick up my pace. I wanted something around 12-minute miles, which is completely do-able.

Last night, I decided to only run three miles. I'm not feeling 100-percent -- I'll live, but I have a cold that is bothering me. 

I ran a little over 11-minute miles!

Maybe if I break my longer runs up into shorter distances in my head, I'll be OK. I also know I didn't run the same pace throughout the run, but I never really slowed down for an entire half-mile. I allowed myself to slow down a bit in the middle of a half-mile for a breather, but I got back up to faster quickly.

Hmmm...
