How to be able to run the mile under 10 minutes
It made me
Proud
 "It's easier than you think, just don't think about the time while you are running, and always make yourself go faster."
How I did it: I just went down to my local track. I finished a mile in 9 1/2 minutes. It was easy! I reccommend trying it. First lap around the track should be done at a constant pace, don't tire yourself out during the first lap! Keep a steady pace during the next two, and if you still feel energized during the last lap, sprint it! Lessons & tips: Bring a stopwatch, but only look at it after you have finished, otherwise it will pace you badly. Try working yourself up to going faster and faster. I joined a track team at my school, so now I can do a mile in 6 minutes and 27 seconds! You can do it guys! Resources: Ipod Stopwatch Running shoes Comfortable socks A smile :)

It made me
ready for the 5K
How I did it: Alternate walking an jogging each minute for twenty minutes everytime I get on a treadmill. Worked up to run 6mph for 1min then jog 5mph for 1 min, 20mins total. By the third week, you sould be able to run 6.5-7.0 mph 1 min, then 5.5-6.0 mph the next. After a month, I have no problem running 6.5 mph for 10 mins. That's more than 1mile in 10. :) Read how I did it…

Need a new goal

Calling this done! I’ve done it multiple times, but just now decided to go ahead and call it complete. Mainly because I want room for another goal lol and I know I can do this whenever I want to. I usually run it under 9.
foreverHoping cleaning my room? It's pretty necessary

I do believe that I can do this. Not recently though. I will have to go down to my school’s track and time myself, to see how fast I really can do it if I push myself. I want to try this out within the next week.

Long time since I’ve been working on this goal. I could take the easy way out and call it complete since I’ve done it 3 times, but I’m not since I don’t think I could even come close to this now. I get winded doing a half mile lol. I know cause coach is making us do a timed half mile before we can practice so I’ve been running a bit before then. Hmm, deciding not to do anything over the summer was not very smart. Oh well I’m going to get myself back into shape and start back on this goal. I need to be able to do at least a mile again.

I just went to my highschool’s track with my brother and Mom and ran a mile in 9:25 minutes! On my last lap, my brother, Alex, ran next to me and slightly farther ahead to push me to go faster. :) I thought it was really nice of him to want me to reach my goal.
