When I go for a run I never really have a particular destination in mind. I usually make that decision a mile or so in. I have gotten pretty good at being able to tell how far I have gone, but lately I have been getting much more efficient with my running. Meaning I am getting faster, and that is super exciting. Yesterday I ended up running a 8 minute mile for 3.7 miles. I thought I started slow, but I guess I was running like the wind! I usually run an out and back, so by the midway point I make a goal time for myself. usually it is around twice my out time. Yesterday I was 40 seconds faster on the way back, so maybe I actually did start out a little slow. I am proud of myself to say the least.
Take a look at how much I have been running lately! 18 miles last week? Yeah, that's all me! the only real break I took this month was when I went to Atlanta at the beginning of the month. That took a couple days out, but probably a much needed break from running. I don't want to get burned out. I think i might have to take another short break soon- just so I don't lose interest in running.
