3 miles in 26:17...not bad

Good run. This was a time trial and I was actually aiming for 27:00 or so and was able to do it in a better than expected time. According to my pace calculators, this means that I should be able to run a 2:04 half marathon. My goal is 2:00 half marathon. When I can do this 3 mile time trial in 25:00 or a 7 mile time trial in 1hr, then I am ready. There are 5 training weeks to get there. Will run 9 miles tomorrow in a nice even easy pace...aiming for 90 - 95 minutes for this run.

RUN ANALYSIS:
3 miles in 26:17, average pace of 8:46 per mile at 6.85mph. Out in 13:28, back in 12:49 (7 mph on the way back...nice). Mile by mile (8:48, 9:10, 8:19) with nice fast pace on the way home.

RUN HISTORY:
Personal best ever was 22:30 a long time ago. Did 25:28 on May 8, 2006 and 24:30 on November 11, 2005
