24.44 Personal Best

I knew I was going to run a personal best on my 3 mile run tonight. I beat my best time by 12 seconds completing the run in 24.44. Average pace of 8.15. I was a little disappointed as I pushed it as much as I could and only shaved 12 seconds off my time, however, I had done a fairly tough run on Tuesday and my legs had not fully recovered. The first part of my route is up hill and in future I will do a small warm up run so that I am fired up before I start. I have a 10k run next Tuesday and hoping to beat my previous time. I really want to get my time down below 24mins pace 8.0

    ...and here proves the old adage "Miles mean speed"
    People somethimes think that training for long distances makes you ploddy and slow, how wrong they are. Keep it coming I promise you that you will soon be sub 24 on a 3.11 mile run

    Thanks for the words of encouragement. I feel like I am due for a bit of breakthrough in the next couple of months and that keeps me going.
