HOLEY CRAP!!! I just ran a 14 minute mile! 14 minutes… My best time to date has been 16 and half and that was hard, but today 14 minutes flat. I knew my GPS was acting a little funny so when I saw 14 something I figured that when I adjusted the course online it would be wrong (I can see the trail on the map and make corrections). NOPE! It shaved off even more time!
I am soo excited about this! So I will quickly share how I did it. First, the park was closing soon so I knew my walk would be cut short so I decided to really push it. I then started running and picked a point ahead of me on the trail and decided to run to that point. Once I got there I started to walk and soon picked another point. I did this 5 or 6 times maybe more. When my car was in sight I decided to do a few sprints until the mile was done. After a couple of these and even with a quick cool down I still had a FOURTEEN minute mile!
Now to get my 3.1 under 50 minutes – which I know now is completely possible!!
Congratulations! The best competitions are always with ourselves. Keep up the hard work, and you will fly!
