A new day of pavement pounding has proven to be very successful. I am finally able to run a 5k without a problem which is really exciting. Today I went for a run in Spokane. I set my timer for thirty five minutes. And just ran, at the 18 minute mark I made a loop and came back. I realize now that it is extremely helpful to run a new route and to make a loop instead of going back the same way I came. AND...drum roll please...IT WAS ENJOYABLE. Today was the first day since college that I ran and enjoyed it. I didn't feel stressed about whether or not I would make it through the entire 35 minutes. I just ran, I felt the air in my lungs and the cement under my feet. I watched cars go by and just enjoyed putting one foot in front of the other. My pace was 12 minute miles...freakin awesome!
WHOOT!
