Rare posts, I'm running again
Posts on LJ seem so rare (like 1 in the last month) that I feel like maybe I should start writing in Facebook Notes.
I've started running again. Okay, like a month ago. A friend of mine and I go to the Rec center and run around a 1/8 mile track. We run Mon, Wed, Fri. This week we do 8 miles each time. That's 64 laps. Actually, I do 8 miles, and he runs his best until I'm done. We're gonna run the Cincinnati Flying Pig HALF Marathon. Good times.
But since last Wednesday, I've been running the fastest I've ever run in my life. It feels awesome. Today the first 3 miles I ran were 90 seconds faster than I've ever run a 5k (3.1 miles). I'm feeling proud and greedy. I want Poultry Days to come so I can run the 5k and beat all of my old friends. But first I want to see how long I can keep up the 7 minute average mile pace. If I could do that the whole 13.1 miles of Half-Pig, I would be quite impressed with myself. It would feel even better than today does. Plus I would be given bagels and cookies and yogurt at the end. Sweeeet.
