been running for 5 weeks or so. ran 8.2 miles yesterday at 10:05 pace. never run that far before in my life. not ready to do it again today, but i felt pretty darn good today. not really very sore.

i’m a little ahead of schedule. i wanted to be at 8-10 miles by the end of the year. i’m pretty confident i’ll be able to do 10, maybe a bit more just for good measure.

and my fear of boredom has not yet been realized, thanks to a running partner and (when she’s not running with me) an ipod. god bless apple.
