While my schedule today indicated my run time, it didn’t advise on what
type of run I should have. So, I decided to ramp up my speed today and push
myself. With a day off yesterday (which included eating a cupcake and candy.
Yep, I felt guilty…for like 2 seconds…) I felt refreshed and ready to go. From
the get-go it was easy to pick up the pace and get my breathing on cue. I
surprised myself too that I was able to maintain a faster pace and pick it up
again for 2 kms towards the tail end of my run. To say it felt great was an
understatement. I hit new personal best times - fastest km at 4:27 and fastest 5k at 23:34. Every movement was fluid, every step felt stronger and every
blip of my watch made my smile grow bigger. Sure, I’m still a long way away
from where I need to be, but I’m a heck of a lot closer than I was in all my
days before.
The storm will certainly slow down so much this week but the next couple
of days will be filled with so much exciting activity for me. Work is keeping
me on my toes with new accounts coming on board and travel the next few weeks.
My training schedule is going to get more intense and I’m going to be starting classes
to compliment the cardio. I’m looking forward to all of it and will embrace
every bit as a chance to better myself on all levels.
Come hell or high water and everything that life will throw at me, I
have decided that there will be no dust on the pages of the story of my life.
Today’s distance: 13 km
Today’s time: 1:03.00
