Dena set a personal best today by covering 3.7 miles in just 35 1/2 minutes. The 9:40 average mile time came as temperatures dropped below 50 and toward an upcoming three-day stretch of potentially snowy weather.
When she and I trained for the Jingle Bell Run over a year ago, we rejoiced when she cracked the 11-minute mark. Now she's running longer and faster. Plus she's made a few ambitious runs with a new running club in town... and not the kind where half the time it's walking... these regular runners sometimes hit an 8.5 minute pace.
Who knows what's next? The woman who "didn't understand" running now runs more than most Americans.
