3 more miles feeling good

I ran 3 miles today in just over 40 minutes. That is super good for me. I was coughing a lot but it felt so good to accomplish it. I probably won't lose weight tomorrow night because I have PMS and I am sure I am bloated but at least I will go into it knowing that I ran and am getting back on track now that I am feeling better. I think I am going to try tomorrow if I can get someone to watch little one after work but I think I am going to only do 1 or 2 miles so to take it a little easier. Then I want to increase my mileage to 3.5 miles doing a slower but steady pace. I want to increase a little at a time and maybe by running farther I will be able to run a 3 mile race faster in the long run. It is worth a try. My goal is to be under 40 minutes in a 5K. I think the last one I raced in I think I ran 37 minutes. I think. I think I want to run that same race this June and see if I can match or better the time. But as for today, I feel good, really good. I am going to ice my knee just in case though.
