I learned last night that the slowest group for Building Steam will be a 13 minute mile. I got to thinking that my 17 minute mile wasn't going to cut it. And I also felt like I could do better than a 17 minute mile.
I wondered if I tracked my mile in the neighborhood wrong. I really didn't think so, but I was surprise by the 17 minute mile.
So I got up this morning and went to the gym to run on the track. I also decided to skip to the 3rd week of Couch to 5K.
My first mile was still 17 minutes. So, I guess I did track the distance correctly in my neighborhood.
But, it still didn't feel right. I guess I didn't feel like I had challenged myself enough if that's the fastest I could run it.
I decided to run another one, but this time I was going to do it with music that makes me bouncy at work. With Couch to 5K I was running when it told me to and walking when it told me to. I decided to run when I felt like I could run and walk only when i really needed to.
That got me a 14 minute mile. Now that I'm happy with.
Just finished icing my knees.
