Back a few months ago a bunch from our small group decided we were going to run the Morton Pumpkin Festival 2 mile run. Yeah, I know… 2 miles is kinda weak. But hey, it’s not as easy as you think for someone who doesn’t run much anymore

So for the last few weeks I’ve been training (running) to be in shape for this race. I like to set goals and I like to meet my goals. So I set a goal of finishing this 2 mile run in 15 minutes. That’s just 7:30 per mile – no biggie right? Well, not back in the day. Back in college we were force to run these in like 13 minutes max! But now, I’m strugglin. I haven’t time myself much but I’m pretty sure to date I’m sitting at around 17 minutes or so. My brother Rodney and I went running today through Morton and finished 3.25 miles in 27:30… Not bad I guess. So, I have a month or so to shave that down to 15 minutes for 2 miles. Can I do it? I’ll report back as the training continues!
