Ready or not," RUN" here I come. I pushed the start button on my Garmin and started to hit the pavement. I really hadn't thought about how far I was going to be running this morning. I was just kind of going to go by how I was feeling. The first mile my legs were feeling heavy. As I was hitting mile 5, I could feel my legs getting into a rhythm. After that the rest of the miles just seemed kind of effortless. I was loving this run. Sometimes we wait a long time in between runs to get that feeling. Boy ,was I feeling it today. I was so excited when I got done and looked my Garmin. The second half of my run I had a negative split, with my last mile at 9.02. By the time I was done I had gone 10 miles.
It amazes me, that when I least expect that my run is going to be good. I end up with one of my best runs.
Just what I needed to boost my Confidence level.

Nice splits! You're getting faster! You should be so proud of yourself!
ReplyDeleteGreat run! I love the days when everything just feels right!
ReplyDeleteAwesome job! It seems to be always on those toughest days that you do the best.
ReplyDeletelook at those numbers! woohoo :) Awesome job!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great run! I love it when you kind of dread a run and then they turn into something fantastic. My long run was much the same--I was nervous about it but it turned into a huge confidence builder. Yay for us!
ReplyDeleteGreat job with your long run! I did a nine yesterday with no wind either. Isn't it amazing how nice it is to run without the wind when it feels like you run in it all the time for ahwile!
ReplyDeleteYay Penny! Awesome job!!! :)
ReplyDeleteHurray! What a great read this post is! So happy for you.
ReplyDeleteWay to go, Penny! That run looks awesome. I'm glad it was a great one for you.
ReplyDeleteLook at you...those are some great splits. Nothing like turning in your fastest mile at the end of 10! :)
ReplyDeleteamazing! sometimes all it takes is that first step! you ARE stronger than you think you are :) great run Penny!
ReplyDeleteNice run! You killed it with those negative splits.
ReplyDeleteI love it when a good run comes when you least expect it! Great job!
ReplyDeleteAs a slow runner, I am so impressed with your time--I strive to get below 10 someday (right now I'd be happy anywhere below 11!!). Thanks so much for the inspiration! I'll remember your post during my long run tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteI just came across your blog and i really like it! I especially like the reviews you write. :)
