4 is the new 3

Recently I have had it in my head that 3 miles is just not enough. 4 mile runs have become my new 3. It's probably for the best. I need to squeeze in all the miles I can when I have time :) I did just get back from a nice 4 mile run. The humidity has gone away for now and it was unseasonably cool. A beautiful day for a run. My last run was on Saturday and I actually went farther than 4 :) But it was hot and humid and the nearly 6 mile run at 4pm was slow going. But at least I got it done and I felt better that I did run.

Tonight my big plan is dinner with the girls! It took us nearly a month to find a day for all of us to meet thanks to all of our crazy schedules but we are finally making it work. I am in desperate need of some girl time even if it is for only a couple hours.

Way to bump up the mileage. Hope you had fun with the girls. Isn't it amazing how hard it is to find a day that everyone can make. It use to be so much easier.

Hi Jamie

Hope you had a great dinner with the girls. That is a great thing when your 3 becomes a 4 because it really adds up over time. 1 mile doesn't sound like much, but you are increasing your mileage by a third and that is huge.

Pretty impressive quad BTW. I love looking at old pictures.. some good and some well... not so much.

I've been thinking the same thing...that 4 is the new three...sometimes I even think 5 is the new three. But I try not to get too ahead of myself because I can barely run 1.5 now with my stupid knee...grrr lol

I love it! 4 being the new 3. The way things have been going for me though 2 is the new 3 - how sad.

Hope you had fun with the girls. And I agree, Fours are so much better than threes
