A little magic

Have you ever heard of a magic mile?

I have been using the Jeff Galloway app for time improvement and he had me run a Magic Mile last week. Basically you warm up, get ready, put everything you can into this mile and then check out your pace to help you determine a reasonable estimate of you race time for your longer race (after you train adequately!).

So I did my magic mile, and I was thrilled to accomplish that mile in 12 minutes exactly. Doesn't sound like much, but that is four minutes faster than the necessary pace to avoid the pace bunnies who DQ you at Disney, so the most important thing is being ahead of that pace.

Speaking of Disney, today was the day registration opened for the Wine and Dine Half Marathon and I am excited to say Todd and I are both registered!! Now the hard work really begins! It was quite funny to see me dancing around the office with my registration paper, beaming about the fact that I am now officially registered to subject myself to unknown physical demand along with the potential for public humiliation! But excited I am!
