How I did it: I've been running a few times each week. I made sure to run three miles on a few occasions and I even got up to four miles once. This makes it a bit easier.On race day, I stretched pretty well. I had to remind myself of all the training I had done just to get to that point. When I wanted to give up, I reminded myself again.

How I did it: I know this is supposed to be one of the more difficult goals to achieve but I found it rather easy. I did it on my first try. I quit smoking on New Year's Day and I haven't looked back. Now, I'm fairly disgusted by the habit. So much depends on your attitude. People I know who unsuccessfully tried to quit made half-hearted efforts because they didn't really want to quit. Someone else was goading them o… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I prepared in advance. I made copies of the workout logs, made sure I had access to a gym, had gym clothes, bought groceries, etc. After that, its a matter of just getting through each day.

This morning. 31:33.32, ranked #129.
The race was in a cemetery which made for a Gothic backdrop. There was a massive hill that we had to run over four times. I allowed myself to walk three separate occasions which added up to 2 minutes of my total.
Still, I haven’t been this proud of myself in a long time.
Totally worth it.
I submitted my registration and check yesterday. No turning back. I will run my first 5K on March 28.
I ran 4 miles non-stop today! That ties my personal record that I set 8 years ago.
I’m aiming to run 5 miles comfortably so that 3 miles are no longer difficult. That is the advice I’ve heard several times from experiences runners—you must be able to run quite a bit further than the race distance.
