Workout Time

It's been a while since I wrote any updates on my exercise program. Today was a great day! I first started off with my regularly scheduled workout, followed by a 2-mile run. While the workout itself was great, the run was even better.

As I set out for my run I decided that I needed to stop dilly dallying around and get in a great run. So I set a goal of 2 miles in 16:00, and to take no longer than 17:00. And just so you know, the last 2 miles I ran, I ran in 17:51. There is good news and bad news with the run. The good news was I ran the 2 miles in 16:32. The other amazing news is that the 1st mile I ran in 7:46. This means (bad news) that I ran the 2nd mile in 8:46. What does this mean? I think it means a couple things. #1 I can run an entire mile in less than 8:00, and if I can run one, I can run another. #2 In reality I could have beat my 16:00 goal, if I had wanted it bad enough. #3 Running is a mind game, whether you believe you can or believe you can't, you're right.

So here's to running 5 miles in less than 40:00! (That's 5 8:00 miles, in case you needed help w/the math...)
