Many don’t understand why people run, its boring.
Today I started my Lake Washington run, I was determined to finish under 1 hour 20 minutes. If I did not, I was gonna do a Thursday punishment run of Lake Wa (another shot at cracking 1:20)
Well, I started my run off OK, pace was decent. Hit the halfway mark at 38:09
That pace put me at a better than 11 minute mile. What killed me in the past was my injury and endurance, the second half was usually the bad half. But I did well, best time this year
Time: 1:17:54.
I didn’t think I could crack 1:19 let alone 1:18.
What made today unique was that I did feel much pain in my injury, mind you it was still there. Also, I had a lot left in the tank after the run, I could have done 10 miles.
But what was awesome was it was one of those days I started off with a decent pace, but my head was again questioning why I do this. The payoff magic was in the end, when I was done, I felt GREAT!!! Not hurt, not tired, little thirsty, but Whoa
