It's weak I know, but the pledge is to run 6 days a week starting januray 1 so it is what it is. The 1.2 was actually 3 x 0.4 mile sprints as part of my regular workout. I'm happy to say that these were pretty quick even though they came at the end of a full body pounding. Looking to get in 3 miles tonight

I was lucky to get this one mile in so I wouldn't have to abandon my new years resolution already. We did this in sprints as part of a bigger workout tonight. I had planned on doing more when I got home but then was told I had to go pick up a kid and run some errands instead. I just need to get up in the AM so I can avoid these issues.

The goal is 6 days a week and I think I'm going to have to make saturday, not sunday, my rest day typically. It is so much easier to get out for a run on Sunday than it is on saturday.
