42

That's the magic number. Yes, I do realize that's a 14-minute mile, which is painfully slow (nothing like a 4-minute mile). So far, the fastest I've run three miles has been 46 something, and most often it has been closer to 54. That being said, my goal of 42 minutes might be a bit ambitious. But if I don't push myself, I will never get any better. This is something that has been painfully obvious during my adventures in bike racing. And for some reason, I want to push myself at running more than I have wanted to push myself at anything in a long time.

The test comes the day after tomorrow. Wish me luck!
