I’ve been going through my back posts trying to get some WordPress problems worked out and I just read the post where I made resolutions for the new year. Remember that? Yea, me neither apparently.
One of those resolutions, which I’d COMPLETELY forgotten about, incidentally, was to run a half marathon in under 2:15. I know when I made it I really thought it was pie-in-the-sky, but now, just 5.5 months into the year, it’s DONE. I ran the Colfax Half at 2:12. I’m still a bit in shock. I guess it’s good to be able to surprise yourself.
The really good thing about running is that there is always a new goal. You can always shave more time off your personal best, especially when you’re relatively slow like me. So now, of course, I want to run a sub 2:00 half marathon, which is right around 9 minute miles. I’m doing better sustaining that sort of speed, but I am guessing it will be a while yet.
Congrats!! This is amazing. What a great little gift to yourself to complete a resolution and not even realize it!! 🙂
