Another milestone

I am not really a runner as much as I am a jogger. I have been on a running schedule of three times a week and at least four miles each time. I'm fine with the distance but now I've just been working on my speed. So these last few weeks I've been bumping up my speed .1 mph each time and it paid off!!

This weekend was the Swamp Fox 5k and I officially cut off over a minutes from each mile! My goal was to finish under 40 minutes and I crossed the line at 39:11. Now, I know that's slow....but HELLO, for me that's great! I had an average mile of 12:36! Sooooo happy!!! I actually cried a little because it was so big for me. Now my next goal is to finish in under 35 minutes. And by God...I'm gonna do it!



Another fun moment of that morning was running into a client that I only have contact with via email 99% of the time. I hadn't seen her in over a year but in our conversations via email she told me she had started running and the Swamp Fox 5k was going to be her first. So I saw her after getting my chip in the morning and she didn't even recognize me! Best.feeling.ever. Well, aside from crossing the finish line! ;-)
