New Goal, Same As Old Goal

I finally broke the collar on my 5 mile treadmill march yesterday.  My goal was to get 5 miles in the 65 minutes the treadmill allows before resetting the clock and making me start from zero again.  I've made a few attempts at this over the last couple of weeks and, ultimately, fell short.  I vowed to get it done and yesterday was a victory.  Managed 5.25 miles in 65 minutes.  While not on par with an antelope or cheetah, it's a new personal victory for me.  And I celebrated with a steak.

So, time for a new goal. 5 miles in 60 minutes.  I think I could have done it yesterday, but once I realized I was going to break the 5/65 goal, I sort of hit cruise control for the last 10 minutes or so.  Legs were beginning to get rubbery and I was satisfied with what was happening.

Congratulations! It feels so good to crush a goal, I know it! And I know you'll soon crush the new goal, too.

That was a well earned steak. Your wobbly legs thank you.

Congrats again!
