3 weeks down

Training is going well, knocked out the 4,5, and 6 mile weekend runs, along with 2 3-mile runs during each week (plus some strength training on other days).

It's hard to gauge how well I'm doing - the run I do around my house is extremely hilly, I think one part of the run has a street sign saying 11% grade. To put it in perspective, when I run 3 miles around home, it takes around 31:30. When I run it on a treadmill, I think my last time was around 27 (or 28? I don't remember) minutes. So my pace around home seems really slow, but I know a lot of that is due to the hills. Hopefully the training will make it easier to run the relatively flat course in October.
