Three Mile Run

Today, I ran 3 miles. Our instructions said to do speedwork, and I wasn't sure what to do. So, I decided to do a little flip on the 5 minutes and 30 seconds we do for our long runs. I set my watch to beep at 5 minutes and to beep at 1 minute. I jogged slowly for the 5 minutes and then I ran hard for the 1 minute. I was surprised at how quickly the 1 minute passed - well excpet for one of them that seemed like it was TEN. :) I wish I had been able to do one more mile. I ran out of time, but I was really enjoying it. I think the interval concept is good for my brain. I enjoyed this 3 mile run better than most. :)
