I had such a good time this morning. I ran the river trail then detoured through a nice neighborhood by mine to pick out which house I want to move into. Sadly, no one was standing outside ready to give me their house so I ran back across the bridge and I saw a familiar person about a half mile ahead of me. Lily! I ran hard trying to catch her for about a mile, but then realized that even if I caught her at that point I was so out of breath that I wouldn't be able to hold a conversation anyways, so I dropped back down and let 'er go. I was able to maintain a 7:47 minutes per mile pace for the whole 7.5 miles. I am so excited about it. I never thought this short stocky body would be able to do that!! My next goal is to try to do 13 miles at that pace. Maybe on Saturday, I will give it a try. |
