Baby Steps

Managed to complete the pathetic 1.25 miles of pace this weekend, wrapped up in enough walking to warm/cool to make it basically the slowest 5k ever run by man since time began.

Next day did as quick and up-and-back on Mount Beacon as I could manage 2 miles round trip, 1000 feet up, 1000 feet down, a little bit under an hour. I felt everything short of wanting to barf, so I'm not sure of how 6 miles of trail running is going to feel, though this certainly had more intense climbing than the "race" will.
