Did my first 3-mile tempo run at under an 8:00/mile pace! Except the RA pace calculator doesn't calculate to the millionths of a second or whatever, so I only get credit for an 8:00/mile. Oh well. I know I did it. Not bad...from a pack a day habit to an 8:00/mile tempo run in 4.5 months. Kick @$$!!  |

Nice job. Looks like you crushed your listed 5k PR pace in your temp run, too.  |

Yeah...that "PR" was really a 5k that I didn't train for--in fact I hadn't run in about 8 months when i ran it. That was a race that was short enough that I could run it on pure adrenaline. But I hurt like hell for about two weeks afterwards and in reality am lucky I didn't injure myself in the process...

*bows* That is REALLY an amazing accomplishment! My dad is currently trying to quit. Took almost having a stroke and having to have carotid artery surgery to give him the incentive. I'm glad you are nipping things in the bud now.

Awesome! I just Love to hear about people ending that nasty habit of smoking, better yet is that you have a habit of running now. 
Nice tempo pace, congratulations. |
