Doobie Brothers....It keeps you running, yeah it keeps you running

I am going to give you a figure from today "21." Now to most people that is just part of 1/2 an hour of their day, how long it takes to eat a #2 meal from McDonalds, how much over the allotted time the preacher normally preaches, a good hot shower, the legal age to drink. Now to runners this is a horrid number....I ran for the first time in a long time, and I now officially start at a 21 minute mile. That means my first 5K, if run today, would take me 1 hour. Now the training material assured me that within 8 weeks (when the 5K is) I would be able to complete the 3.1 miles without hesitation.

So, 21 isn't a magic number, but a reference of what to reduce.
