3.11 miles... yeah baby!


I DIIIIIIIIIID IT!!!  Tonight I ran 3.11 miles WITHOUT STOPPING!  That's a 5k!

Our training schedule said to run 3 miles today. I wanted to see how far I could go. I wanted to beat my last non-stop effort of 1.4 miles. I wanted to get past my own mental blocks and prove to myself that I really could do it!

I didn't look at my watch until 2.7 miles. I then said to myself, "I got this!" And ... I got it!

What a proud moment! In fact, I was so proud of myself that I drove straight to Max Muscle and let my trainers, Tracy and Trevor, know exactly what I had just accomplished! 

3.11 miles in 35:30 minutes, averaging 11:25 minute miles. (I am definitely more of a tortoise than a hare but hey, I DID IT!)

I am a runner!   :D
