Why I Run

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
