2.5 mile run

I did my first 2.5 mile in over a year. I was pretty apprehensive about it, but it went surprisingly well. The last half mile was the hardest. But I was super proud of how my pace went. I have to say that this blog keeps me running sometimes. When I reach hard points, I think about what I'll blog about. I never end up writing half of what I think about. But it helps me to keep going. At the end, I do tons of positive self-talking. In my head, of course. That also keeps me going.

Wednesday my run is only 2 miles I think, so compared with today, that will feel pretty awesome. I think my time for today was around 43 minutes or so. Like I said, not the fastest runner. Although as I acclamate, I'm sure I might pick up a few minutes here or there. I guess I don't know what most people's time is. I remember a gal last summer saying she did it in 35, and she wasn't really much of a runner at the time. Perhaps she was being modest? I would have to seriously push myself to try and make a 5K in 35 minutes. I can maintain an 11 minute mile for about 2 miles, but then I slow down. At least I used to do an 11 minute mile. I don't really know what I'm running now. I need to get one of those nifty gadgets that keeps track of those things.

Anyway, fussing baby. Gotta jet!
