    We all started out running 1, 2, then 3, then 4 and then on to longer runs - you'll get there! Build up to it slowly; it is an awesome feeling with each milestone you hit!! :D
    Shana's right! 2 years ago I couldn't have run 1 mile if my life depended on it. I did exactly what you've been doing & ran just a little bit farther every time. There will always be more miles to run & seconds to shave off of your best times. Enjoy the journey!

    I love 3mile/ 5k runs now, 3 months ago they seemed such a long distance, they are now light little jaunts. it's addictive

    14 Oct - 5 mile with hill intervals, this morning 3 miles easy, finally got a very low average heart rate 124 which is 70% of max for me. Runs are now done in the dark and wet, but I feel like a proper runner as I now want to go out regardless of the weather.
    Nice Heart Rate! I love 3-6 mile runs too, but hill sprints get me every time- doesn't stop me from toughing it out though!

    I had to take it easy today, and prove to myself, that, yes, I have an injury and need to maybe take a few days off from running.

    I also think it's time for new shoes.
    Yuck! Hope your injury's not severe & that new shoes fix the problem. I start getting blisters when my shoes are going but I have a buddy who gets shin splints & another friend who'll get knee troubles. Good shoes are vital to the runner aren't they?!?
    Rest, Recuperate & come back strong!

    Have fun.

    2 days running left for me this month before having a 2 week break.
    My normal daily runs are 3-5 miles depending on how much time I have. I wish I had hills nearby to train on but the closest I have are freeway overpasses. The hills get me every time in races. Also I love to run in the rain, it just doesn't happen very often here these days!
