Do you wonder if your certification came from a prestigious enough teacher? Or maybe you have no certification at all, someone just showed you how to do it (correctly)?

First 3.25 Mile Run

Last Friday I completed my first “long run”. I couldn’t keep running the entire time, as the pressure on my finger got too intense, but I’m really happy I made it as far as I did.

  • Distance: 3.28 miles
  • Duration: 45:03 minutes, including a 5 minute warmup
  • Average pace: 13:44 min/mi
  • Climb: 58 feet

At least now I know that I can complete a 5k distance and I have a time I can start beating once I’ve recovered.
