3 mile speed run

After running nearly 6 miles on Saturday, I went for a shorter, faster run today. I ran a 2.9 mile loop (I mapped my run after the fact or I would have gone for the extra tenth) in 24:22, which is a 8:24 mile. I'm happy with the pace because there was some fierce wind that really held me back for the first half of the loop - felt like I was running in water for a few moments there! I did cut a full 3 minutes off of my previous run time, but I hope to shave an extra 10 seconds per mile off the next time I run it for speed.
My goal right now is to run 20-30 miles a week before my actual marathon training begins in April. Better pick up some good miles tomorrow!
