Yeah! I just got back from running 3.6 miles (I drove it one way in my car on the way home). Unfortunately that's still more than two and a half miles less than what I'll have to be running on the fourth of July. Fortunately, there's quite a bit of time left. Being the geek that I am, I opened up my computer's spreadsheet program, Gnumeric, and created a quick table to lay out a plan of distances and dates. Looks like I need to add just over 3 tenths of a mile each week to hit 6.3 miles two weeks before the Peachtree. Not too bad. I might even be able to do better than that - if I can hit 6.3 miles earlier, then I can start working on getting my speed up. I think the trick is to run a route where I have to get home to finish — laps just don't seem to work for me!
