I had some crappy runs this week... I'd start and feel horrible so I'd switch to the stairclimber or bike.
But this morning was just one of those AMAZING runs. When I started, I planned on doing 3.1 miles for Courtney's Hope Endures 5K. [Courtney - thanks for hosting and I know Ashlyn is smiling down on her amazing mother, today and always!]
I pounded them out and felt suprisingly good! So I figured, why not do four miles? Four turned into five, which turned into six!! I stopped at six only because I didn't want to end up pushing too far to fast. Runs like this are priceless. I started off slow at 5.0, then with each mile I pumped up the speed a little (from sloth to say, turtle). I ran mile 5 at 6.0 which used to be unheard of. Then I ran mile 6 at 6.3-6.5. Like I said, one of those priceless runs.
Love those kind of runs ;)! Great job!
ReplyDeleteAmazing run! Those are priceless for sure!
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh when I first starting reading this post. My latest blogging started with this...
ReplyDelete"After kind of a crappy start to the week (with almost every workout being a conversation with myself about how much I didn't feel like working out)"
and included this...
"I ended the week with the best run I've had in about 3 weeks!"
No running isn't easy but when you get "that" feeling it is so worth it :)
Awesome run! I love those unexpected successful workouts! The stairclimber is just as intense as running for me so I will often do that instead as well! It makes me sweat like a beast!
ReplyDeleteGreat run! It's so amazing to have those runs that you don't want to end!
