Another Milestone

I ran around the block this morning! The 6 mile block!! Yes, I did!! Every step of the way even up the hills. Time wasn't so great - 1.06.26 - but that's my usual pace on the TM so it was fine. I really did it! This was not on my training schedule for today but have been thinking about it for a while because that route and run has been a huge mental block for me. Really wondered if I could do it. So I just decided to try it and get it over with. And I did! It was +37 when I left the house but the sun was out and not very windy. Wore a hoodie and gloves but had to shed the gloves and drop the hood down at the one mile mark. This was the first time I've run outside since Thanksgiving Day last fall. Felt great to be out there! Hurray! Hurray!

This is especially great because you COULD have run around the 4 mile block!

How did your Nike+ match up between inside v. outside? I'm pretty curious!

Well, it is just great to be able to move beyond a mental block. Our thoughts can keep us from achieving our goals! But you did it!

Soon you'll be running outside for a week! You are totally prepared for Miramar!
