Further than I'd ever run before

Yesterday, I ran 4.5 miles in less than 55 minutes. For the last quarter mile, with every step I was think "Now this is the furthest I've ever run. Now this is the furthest I ever run". Considering when I started training for my first 5K in late May/early June I could barely run a quarter mile, I was very amazed.

    Congratulations! That is awesome!!!! I find with running that a lot of it is in my mind. When I first started, I'd think I can never run a mile. I did. Then I can never run 5 miles. I did. When I stopped with the nevers, my body kept going.

    That's quite an accomplishment. You should be really proud of yourself.

    You're doing great! It's amazing what your body can do! My furthest so far is 10.5 miles non-stop and I want to beat that by the end of the year. That was a few months back on a nice warm evening though!
