I have a GPS watch that tracks all of my runs and tells me when I’ve accomplished something wonderful. Usually after my workout it says things like, “Is that the best you can do, Fatty?” or “My grandma could run faster!” But today it congratulated me with two personal records. It was very exciting for me. I ran my fastest mile to date: 9:57 AND my fastest 5k to date: 31:57.
I realize that these times aren’t particularly fast, but I’m only a marginal runner so for me, it’s fantastic. Furthermore, my route is loaded with hills. If I were running on flat ground, my time would probably be around a 4:30 mile.
The best part is that I almost didn’t go running this morning. My alarm went off at 5:45, it was dark outside, and I was warm and snuggly in my bed. But I forced myself to get up and it turned out to be a wise choice.
It’s nice to see progress. Yea for me!
