Big strides

A few years ago I would have laughed if someone told me I'd be posting to my blog to brag about a 2.5-mi run. But yeah, that's exactly what I'm doing :) I've been running 1.75 - 2 miles pretty consistently over the last few weeks. Keeping the pace a bit slower is really key right now but I've always struggled with moderating my pace. I kick up the tunes and next thing I know I'm clipping along. Right now I have the Garmin set up to beep at me if I fall under 9-min miles and it's a good thing. Today I decided to test things a bit and try to shoot for 2.5. I kept the pace at a pretty even 9:30 and nailed it! And it felt f***in' great! I never thought a 2.5-mi run would put me on cloud nine, but this one sure did!
