but I set fire to the rain watched it pour as I touched your face
Today is a great day friends! I finally ran for 20 minutes straight without slowing down! I've been trying to do this for 2 weeks now and I just haven't been able to get there.
My body can do it just fine but I had this huge mental block telling me that I couldn't. I wasn't even planning to try this morning, I figured I would just do two lots of 8 minute running intervals with 3 minutes walking in between but when I was coming up on 8 minutes I decided to go for 10 and then once I got to 10 I was already half way there so I just kept going.
I thought my pace would be dreadful but it was actually pretty good. And I set two new personal records. 1 mile in 9'11" and 5K in 32'31". That's about 40 seconds off my best mile time and a whole minute off my best 5K time.
Right now I feel amazing. This is why you need to start running xxrachiefishxx! This feeling is worth all the pain, I promise.
