4.68 miles - with best motivation I've found...

Tonight I ran 4.68 miles. It's the farthest I've run in two years. And I ran it in under 11 minute miles. The fastest I've run in two years.

How did I do it?

I started out for a 3 mile run at 14 minute miles. Then I decided to try and catch my husband and son as they left his gymnastics class. I knew the class was over at 8, and I knew that passing a certain bank clock it was already 7:35...so I kicked it into seriously high gear, every second fearing the car would pass me by and I'd be stranded almost 5 miles from home with my only option to run back...

I made it. They were getting into the car as I turned into the parking lot.

My hubby, also a runner, said he was impressed. I beamed.

I love little challenges like that. I dislike running so that sounds like something I would do just to get me through 5k...:laugh:
