Are we there yet?

Regular training isn't something that I can say that I've ever been able to do regularly. I've got a 5K on the calendar December 10th. I've registerd and paid. I've figured out a training plan and I am going to follow it. I've never trained for a race, especially not any type of systematic training. Tonight was just an easy 2 miles and the time was 18:55 so about 9 minute miles. Tomorrow 4 miles is the plan. Right now, I'm a plodder. I've been a 10 minute miler and have a goal of being an 8:30 miler. That pace for a 5K would be 27 minutes 2o seconds (oh, my wife is bringing me ice cream!) I'll have more to say tomorrow after I run my 4 miles.
