I got off to a bad start this week.
My first day of running was supposed to be yesterday.
I just didn'thave make time for it.
In the past, it's been hard for me to run before noon. I'm a night person accustomed to running in the afternoon or evening (when XC and track practices and meets would be). But I work evenings. Enter conundrum.
But I ran today. It was only a mile, but it felt great.
I was at 4:11 at the half-mile mark. I can't remember the last time I ran a 4-minute half mile. I think I had some help from Coldplay's Paradise (a surprisingly great running song) blasting through my earbuds on repeat.
Of course, I paid for it on the second leg, slowing down to a 6:24 second half-mile, but it still was encouraging.
At some point, I'll be doing two 4-minute half miles.
And that makes me smile.
