#$@$!% 1.25 miles.
I ran for 1.25 miles. straight. in about 16 or 17 minutes. Um? what the hell? This is GREAT NEWS! (this was also the first track workout of the beginning women runners)...
why have I never done this before? Sure, I've "run" further, but it always always involved stopping at a couple minutes to walk. this? I just don't know what happened.
Actually, it was mostly the lady I was running with.. she's about 10 years older, and soooo not a runner... she kept at it, and made me as well! As much as I hate the rah rah factor, it worked! wow..
there was also a gaggle of students therebefore we started.. oh my... hundreds of skinny fast high school students in a track meet! thank goodness they were leaving after we started.. oh, and the kids playing "track meet" after - sooo cute! kids ranging from like 3 to 9 running and screaming and cheering! except that even the 3 year old was zooming along compared to us..
