11 minute mile

Today I had my first 'run-two-days-in-a-row' day. Up to now I'd been running every other day to give my legs a bit of a rest. I'm up to 3 miles each run now and I clocked in at an 11:00 minute mile this morning. I had an 11:30 minute mile yesterday so hopefully my times will keep improving this quickly. I used to run a 7:00 minute mile for slow runs back during the peak of my pentathlon training days and a 5:30 mile or better in competitions.

In other news, I've been paddling outrigger canoe with Wakinikona for several months now so that is helping my cardio a lot. I've now paddled in the two seat doing sprint turns and have been the caller for switches so am getting more and more into it. Hopefully I'll have a chance to practice in the Blue Heron with Mike Evans to prepare for Tribal Journey too.
