Sweet

Just thought I'd share that I had an awesome run this morning. I hit the first mile at 9:08 which is really fast for me especially on the first mile when my mind and body are not so sure about this running thing. F*ck, I thought. No negative split for me today. Ever the optimist.

But then somehow, I cranked out a 9 minute second mile and just kept chugging. In the 8s for the third mile. Hmmm, what up?

I finished five miles at an average pace of 8:40 which is smokin' fast for me for anything over three miles. I felt slightly out of my comfort zone the whole time but not tremendously miserable or anything.

Of course I had my iPod cranked and couldn't hear myself panting... always preferable. I think the new classic rock tunes I loaded (Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Metallica) must have helped. Well, that and my new speedy-fast Newtons which could only be better if I had the stellar pink version like my cool friend Jennifer.

Rock on!
