To keep up with our running, Jeff and I packed our shoes and running clothes. Because our run yesterday was pretty low key, we decided to do 2 miles this morning.
We set out saying this was going to be an easy run and we were going to take our time. A short while in though, I noticed my lungs and legs were burning. I asked Jeff where we were at distance wise and we were just under a mile around 10 minutes. I quickly calculated and realized I would be able to come in under my last 12:30something min/mile pr. I kept pushing and sure enough, clocked our 1 minute mile at 11:47. Almost 1 minute less! :)
To most this is still pretty ridiculously slow. But for me, someone who was pretty confident I would never run a sub 15 min/mile, I’m happy. We kept going and said we’d finish the second mile slow. However, we PR’d our two mile time also! We finished in 25:35 compared to 29 mins! I’m so happy and needed that running pick me up.
We are off to grab a snack and then explore the city!
