How to run a 7 minute mile
It made me
 "Run on treadmill and have a mental mantra to push oneself."
How I did it: I have discovered that it is very useful to synergize and combine efforts together as I have 4 young children and time is at a premium. So I practise mental mantras or storytelling while I run. One of my mantra patterns has to do with reaching a certain number and I mention the name of someone who inspired me in the past by their effort and perseverance. There are two people I think of - both have since passed on. One is my father who got me running in the first place and the second was a young beautiful woman who was a great heart. My mantra is simple : Peter Greenwood moves through pain one, Peter Greenwood moves through pain two. Lessons & tips: Just the above. Resources: Regularly listen to Tony Robbins tapes and also utilize his anchors and all the tools in his tapes |

How I did it: Let's just say--as a self-entitled "non-athletic person," I was in for a rude awakening.

The 5 month challenge

I just made a dinner wager with a friend – on July 3rd we will have a contest – 150 situps, 10 pullups and a 3 mile run in 21 minutes…...The situps will be no problem, the pullups will be difficult to lift my 200lbs 10times, and the running will be harder still….I have a ways to go, as i am running about a 10 minute mile right now.

That wasn’t too tough. It feels good to hit this milestone, though. As far as I know, I’ve never done it before in my life.

I was able to do this in high school, but now I’m running a 9 minute mile. Need to keep up with the training and workouts.

I started running about a month ago, and I can run two consecutive 7:40 miles, so I think this is a goal I can achieve within the next 3 months. We’ll see!
