Today was another day of running, because it was just too cold and windy to try the bike again. I wanted to run for 45 minutes today. My thoughts were to run further than 2 days ago, which meant adding 5 more minutes to my time.
The first 1.5 miles was tough, really tough. I just wanted to go back home. My foot hurt, my running bra is too loose (yeah weight loss), I was just tired, etc. I shrunk it down to a 30 minute run in my brain. If I could just do 30 minutes then I'd be happy.
At 20 minutes, my brain switched. I thought I could do this! So, 45 minute run here I come! In the process, I figured I ran a 5K in under 35 minutes. That is my fastest time in 5+ years!
At 45 minutes, I'd run just over 4 miles. It felt amazing! I did it! I couldn't believe I did it! I was tired, but so happy. I came home, let the dog out, and hit the hammock chair in the sun porch to celebrate. It felt so good to sit in the sun and watch Skeeter run around the yard. So relaxing. Just what I needed after 4 miles!
