NSV did I really run at 6.5mph?!?!?

I've done Couch to 5k numerous times and I've always kind of plodded along at a barely jogging pace. I've never really pushed myself on it, but this time I'm training for a half marathon and I decided I want to work on my speed because it will help with my endurance as well. So today I decided to run the intervals at 6.5 mph. I thought for sure I was going to fly off the treadmill, not be able to breathe, pass out, have my legs go out (you know one of those completely horrible things you have nightmares about) instead I impressed myself and got through all of the intervals at that speed and I'm looking forward to pyshing myself again with my next run.

Congrat! I'm sure the guy or girl next to you were impressed with your speed also thinking "that girl is an animal on that treadmill! " : )
