3.06 miles in 31'32"

the first time i ran it was 96 degrees. the second time, 84. this morning's run was done at 72. is it going to be 60 on monday? don't bet on it.

i'm pleased with my progress so far. i've cut 35 seconds off my minute per mile average. still, i've got a long way to go if i'm going to smoke that skinny kid that ran a 10K in 54 minutes in 1984.

i felt pretty good today after the first two minutes of running. they were awful, but the second two were easier. my workout plan for the day was similar to the first - five minute walking warm up then six sets of two minutes running/two minutes walking followed by a five minute walking cool down. i did all of that except for the last two and half minutes of the cool down. i was at home, so i stopped.
