In my quest to meet my goal in 10 weeks I frequently run home from work. To date I've managed to easily run 30 minutes each time out. Each run seems to get more and more fluid and smooth but I have yet to increase my time or start to push myself in preparation for the BIG RACE DAY! And then I ran home today...
Today I decided to push myself a little and take a longer route home. Each time I wanted to quit and walk I just told myself to go a little bit farther. I would choose the next house or the next tree and tell myself I could make it at least that far. When I finally reached home (running the entire time) I looked down at my watch and read 39:42!!! Oh my God! I almost increased my time by 10 minutes! That's big, it's huge! I was so proud of my accomplishment I almost didn't even notice that I felt great and wasn't gasping for air. It might have been possible to push a little further or a little harder?!?!
Even though my race is still ten weeks away for today, I think I can...
