Really quick post friends, but I had to shout it out, so to speak (write)!!!
Today's 5k run was a personal best..yes it was!! And what was that?...I finally broke that elusive 30 min per 5k mark!!
My new PB 5k time is 29:48 5:57 pace per km. Yeeehawww! :)
Sunday started out with no expectations and it was wet and rainy, but something different happened today. It's hard to explain, but my body did what my mind wanted?!
I was able to hold a pace I normally only hold for about 500 m. Today, on this wet dreary day I was able to hold it for approximately 3.5k and because of that I was able to reach my goal of a sub 30 min 5k!! Wow..can you say happy!!???...Now to hold it (the benchmark has to be the norm) and start looking at a new running goal!!
More to come after the happy dance!!
My thoughts on getting healthy and then ultimately remaining healthy (hardest part). Life style, weight loss, life attitudes, and exercise. All opinions are my own. Join in the battle!!
Why do I do this...
Why? To be better...
2. I am better than this.
