Rain rain go away...

Day 3 - the training plan called for a 3 mile run today. I was planning on attending the Bodyflow preview class at the Oviedo YMCA and figured it would be a good warm up for my run (which it was). I was also looking forward to another outdoor running session, but the weather had other plans. Luckily I was already at the gym with multiple treadmill options available!

I chose the Technogym treadmill and it felt pretty good. No incline today...I learned my lesson from yesterday lol. I ran 3 straight miles with an average pace of 8:56. I started with a 6.7 on the treadmill and was feeling good so I decided to kick it up a notch to 6.8. Big deal, right? Small wins like these feel good, especially to a data nerd like myself. 

I get focused on all the numbers...distance, pace, time left, etc. I not only count down the miles, but also tenths of miles and hundredths of miles! Every step counts!

That's a phrase I repeat to myself oftentimes while running. "Every step counts" and "One step at a time" 

Mindset is huge with running and I can only imagine what I'll be saying on my longer runs. Each completed run is a victory and today's was sweet!

3 sessions down 86 more to go!

P.S. For the first day ever I achieved my 1 gallon water goal! Drinking a gallon of water for me is harder than running 3 miles!
