Just 3

I finally returned to the fitness center at work this afternoon, only to find it just as crowded as I remembered it. Luckily, I did manage to secure one of the two open treadmills upon emerging from the locker room. I was all set to go, and then my iPod froze on me, just as my run was starting. I tried to fix it, but had no idea how to "unfreeze" it (until I got back in front of a PC, an hour later). So the 3 miles I put myself through today will be documented no place other than right here. But believe me, I did do them, and they were not easy. After running the first mile at around an 8:30/mi pace, I then alternated 1/4 mi stretches at 8:30 and 7:24. Not easy, but I knew I didn't have that far to go today. Still not feeling 100%. Lots of coughing afterwards, but not as bad as I had expected. I should be back to full go next week.

My name is Robert Key and I am a runner from Houston, Texas. I saw your blog listed when I was looking through the RBF directory and very much enjoyed reading some of your entries. I had the opportunity to run on the tow path up around Cleveland and Akron last summer and it was absolutely beautiful up there.

I have a web site at http://www.faithfulsoles.com that is inspirational stories for walkers, runners and athletes of all ages and abilities. A new feature I have recently added to the site is a categorized and searchable Running Blog Database where members of my site can find a blog of interest to them based on other walkers, runners or athletes of similar abilities, goals and interests. To my knowledge it is the only one of its kind specifically for walkers and runners on the internet. I would appreciate it if you would take a moment to put a link to your blog in our Running Blog Database. Just click on "Link your running blog" under "Free Features" from the home page. If you want to learn more about my running background, just click on "Meet Robert" from the main menu , or to learn more about my involvement in the running community, click on "Faithful Soles in the news" in the left column under "Weekly Features". I also have a blog that I just started at http://faithfulsoles.blogspot.com, but most of my running information is on my web site. Also, if there is anyone else in your blogger network that you think would be interested in listing their blog, please feel free to pass this information along to them. Thanks and continued good luck in your training.
