How it Felt: Pretty good. I really like running along the river, having great scenery and other runners around makes me not as conscious of the running itself. Today was the first time I really had fleeting moments of not thinking about the running. I think it was toying with the feeling that people talk about when they say the miles just go by and you don't even realize it. I learned the quickest way to lose the feeling is to become cognizant of it. Sort of a Wylie Coyote going off a cliff then looking down and falling sort of thing. The playlist above is a 150 BPM that is supposed to be a 10:00 min/mile playlist. Obviously, I didn't make that. I was behind from the start even though I was moving my feet to that pace, I must take too small strides to make that be a 10:00 minute mile. Oh well, like I've said before, I'm more concerned about just getting out there and putting some miles in than how fast I'm going.
Way to go! Love the pic, btw! Keep going, two is an enormous hurdle. is this a personal record? Woooohoooooo for PR's!
ReplyDeleteI suppose it was a PR for distance but not for time. Does distance PR count? If so, I set a new one the next day!
ReplyDeletethose are the only PRs i count. unfortunately when i first started i was fast, 11 min/mile
ReplyDeletenow im 13 but i am not holding it against myself. don't know why i am so much slower (4 years older???) but doesn't matter. i'm going the distance!
Yeah we should make a new version of that Cake song without the "going for speed" line.
