Love you!!!
{hee hee... I know that was super cheesey, but I really am proud of that guy!}
Last night when I was out for my evening run, I was feeling good. It was one of those easy runs.
My legs felt good.
My music was pounding in my ears.
Encouraging me to go faster.
Run farther.
When I realized that I was on pace to finish my 6 mile run with a pace that was below 8 minutes per mile! I've been in the 8:15-8:30 range consistently whenever I go on runs that are longer than 3 or 4 miles.
When I realized this, I really started pushing. Watching my pace. Trying to stay below that 8 min. mark.
6.25 miles...47 min 8 sec... average pace {7.32 min/mile}
I did it!!!! I hadn't really been striving for this goal, but when I realized that I was there, it felt so good to accomplish it!
So, I've decided to list some running goals. To help me push myself. Here they are...
1. Run 30+ miles per week for the next 2 weeks.
2. Run another 5+ mile run with a sub 8 min/mile pace.
3. Run one 13+ mile run in the next 2 weeks.
It was fun to see Elyse so excited and amazed by all the fish. She learned a lot from her super smart brother and daddy. She is now an ocean expert!
