I'm getting ready for the Color Run in about a month and I wanted to see how long it would hake me to run 3 miles. So today Dale and I went to the gym to check it out... I did 3 miles in 45 minutes!
This is huge for me! I've never been one to run if I could help it. Add in some really crappy lungs in a rather out-of-shape girl and I'm kinda impressed that I could finish at all! My legs didn't really feel the burn until after the first two miles. My lungs, on the other hand, felt it pretty much right away.
I have found that having my Kindle there with a good book helps pass the time and takes my mind off the pain. If I have something to concentrate on that isn't my lungs or legs on fire I seem to go farther faster.

Rock on!! I wish I was as motivated as you!
Sadly, I haven't been able to get back to the gym since to try it again..... After my legs stopped burning! I hope to get back soon!
