Running the 2.1-Mile Loop

Miles Ran: 2.1 Miles / 19 Minutes

Run Disney Project Total Miles: 6.1 Miles

Day No. 4: Today I began the 2.1 mile loop. The first mile was nice and easy to run. It was when I began the second mile that I began to have difficulties. Mile no. 2 begins with an up-hill climb. It is a short hill, but I am not use to hills yet. I began to get apprehensive if I could finish. I knew it was in my head, and I continued to finished. The incredible part about today was how cold it really was. This was the coldest day by far. The temperature was 29 degrees. This is Florida, so why is it 29 degrees. I was comfortable, but really wished I had gloves for my hands. They hurt quite a bit.

Miles Ran: 2.1 Miles / 20 Minutes

Run Disney Project Total Miles: 8.2 Miles

Day No. 5: Today I repeated the 2.1 mile loop, which I will continue to run throughout the week. Today, the temperature was 32 degrees, which was only that warm because I choose to wait until it was later in the day. I decided I needed a pair of sports headphones, so I went to Best Buy today and bought some. They were $40 dollars, but they will be worth every penny. Now I can run without the headphones continuously falling out of my ears.

Miles Ran: 2.1 Miles / 18 Minutes

Run Disney Project Total Miles: 10.3 Miles

Day No. 6: Today was the third say on the 2.1-mile loop. I was excited that I completed the loop in 18 minutes. That means that I ran about 9 minutes per mile. I hope I can maintain that pace or do better then that pace. My biggest concern about running in a marathon or race is that I will be slower then everyone else. No one ever wants to be the last person to finish. Right now I will focus on enjoying the run and less on the time.

Run Disney Project Total Miles: 12.4 Miles

Day No. 7: It is a wonderful 45 degrees, the warmest day it has been in a while. It's amazing that I would consider that today was a warm day. I ran the 2.1 loop once again. I maintained the same pace as yesterday which was awesome. I think that tomorrow will be time to increase my distance.
