I have been trying to figure out how I can get a good 3 plus mile run in over my lunch break. Well, on Wednesday the 27th of February I decided that the best way to make sure I got 3 miles in was to simply run faster! It was a beautiful day and an outside run was just what I needed. I decided that I could make it around campus with no problem and be back in time to shower and get back to work. I tried to aim for a slightly different route than my usual 3 miles, but after about a mile and a half I found myself right back on track :) No worries, it is still a good route. I ran a personal best that day too, 28:39 for 3.01 miles! You can see my route here. Even though campus is a bit distorted still from the damage of the tornado, it was still relaxing to see the view. I was very proud of myself when I finished in the 28 minute time zone. It really made me think that there is hope of me finishing a 5K in 28 minutes or less! That is my new goal. It seems so weird for me to think, "I'm just gonna run 4 miles today...no biggy"! I used to struggle to make myself think that my goal was to get to 3 miles. It is amazing what we can talk ourselves out of doing. It feels great to continue this running high! Here's to the next workout! Until then...
