3.1 Mile Marker - Look how far we've come




At mile 44

  When Christie and I were finishing up our 50 miler the other day, we were on the greenbelt (its an asphalt path that follows the Boise River here in town). From the center of town, it is marked in either direction every tenth of a mile.

Our turnaround point ironically, was just about 3.1 miles or a 5k, which is a wonderful goal and first step for many new runners. It was a subtle reminder of just how far Christie and I, as well as many of my running buddies, have come from where we ALL started.

So if your goal is to run a 5k, I say go for it.  Eveyone has to start somewhere.  We both did!  There is no such thing as a bad run.....every day I can do what I choose without worrying about my health is a good day.
