Have I mentioned that I love running?

Pre-Training Run #2
Distance: 4 miles
Time: 29:14.98
Average: 7:18.75 / mile
Best: Mile 2 - 7:11.1

I just barely didn't meet my goal for this run. It would have qualified me for the Boston (had I done that average for the entire marathon), but I'm shooting for 7:15/mile, as I mentioned before, so that if I go over my goal, I still have a buffer to qualify with. That buffer is actually over 6 1/2 minutes, so I think that leaves me in pretty good shape. I don't want to shoot for the minimum b/c I want to make sure I qualify even if something goes wrong (a cramp, a bad side stitch, or whatever else). I know it's a long way off (10 months or so?), but I'm getting excited about it already.

Well, I'm on campus getting ready to go see Wideawake, so I better get down there. I wanted to get here early so I can get a good spot, but I don't think that will be an issue b/c there aren't a lot of people here right now. Well, I'm off until next time! Hookem!
