Subject: I feel accomplished!! I did 3 things today, during my training run, that have me buzzing with excitement.
First, at 9.5 miles into my run, I attained my goal for August of running 100 miles. I did it with a week left in the month, too!
Then, at 2:25:00, I had completed 13.15 miles, which equates to a 2:24:26.92 half-marathon time, with an average pace of 11:02/mile. My previous best half-marathon distance time was 2:30:21.81 with a 11:29/mile average pace. I bested myself by over 5 minutes!! Oh, and the time I bested was set only 2 weeks ago!
Finally, at 2:40:41, I achieved my 14.5 mile distance goal for the day with an 11:05/mile average pace, besting the 2:52:18 it took me to run 13.87 miles last Sunday and besting the pace I set for the 13.26 mile run from 2 weeks ago by 24sec/mile!
It feels good to achieve!!
