Anyway. I ended up 4 seconds shy of breaking 26 minutes, which I feel is totally doable when I run the course again this coming weekend. Here's hoping.
The other milestone that I hit was a pretty big one...
Today, I ran a double digit run, without stopping (except once to look for a water fountain), for the first time. Ever.
I ran track and cross country in high school, but even then the best I think I ever did was maybe 7 miles...and that usually included a stop at the snow cone place across the street somewhere in the middle (sorry coach!)
The real kicker is that I also managed to beat my previous 10k time (1:01something), and aside from some nasty wind for the last 3 miles, it didn't feel awful.
On top of all that, I managed to pull this off outside - I've been doing all my training on a treadmill, so this is kind of a big deal too.
Anyway, just wanted to share the triumph. I'm not fast, but I got it done. There's no way I would have been able to do it without company (thanks, Steph!!), but...I did it!!
What's your big accomplishment this week? How about a little one? What are you working towards? What's your next goal? What have you done recently that you never thought you'd be able to?
