Keeps getting better. Ran a 2' 03" split tonight, so at some point I fugured out I should just run a mile. Weird timing. Second quarter was under two, third was two, so I cranked it up and got a 7' 48" for my mile. Yeah, I know that sounds really slow, but remember:
[1] Since Arlington, I have not run on the track. All city since then, so no real speed work.
[2] I am just now getting acclimatized to Portland.
[3] Fresh over the flu.
[4] Haven't been running as much as I should or would like to.
That's changing.
Wow! You are SOOOO hard on yourself!! Do you realize how few of those of us you know, that really, really EXERCISE? Not many, if truth be told.
ReplyDeleteI think you should celebrate the joy the running brings you and don't worry about what anyone thinks of your time. To me you are speedy!
Run Forrest! Run!!! ; )
hahaha
ReplyDeleteThank you, my friend, and thank you for the encouragement :-)
It's a good feeling [I mean, being fit, but having friends is also a good, good feeling]. I feel great today!!
