run an 8 min mile

I quit before I’m tired, and I know it! I’ll run about 100 feet then right when I start thinking about running, I stop. I really need to start taking this more seriously.

I was doing so well on this, I ran every morning for 2 or 3 weeks and then abruptly stopped. I haven’t exercised in over a week and we’re leaving on vacation for two days and I’m working on convincing myself I’ll hit the gym while we’re there. I hope so!

I mostly run on treadmills at a speed of 5.0, but I realized in order to run a 10 minute mile I’d have to be running at a speed of 6.0. This is quite a jump, but I now have to set a goal to run a mile at a speed of 6 before I move on to an 8 min. mile.

I ran yesterday but am having a lazy day today. No good.
I have a workout partner but she is unable to make it most days and I seriously lack motivation. So first I need to find a workout buddy with more time.
