Determination

This morning I woke up bound and determined to complete a five mile run without stopping. At the start of my run I got a little winded and thought I might not make it however, after the first mile and a half I got my rhythm down and my breathing regulated. I ran a complete five miles this morning only pausing twice to fix the radio on my phone because it shut off. I am extremely proud of this accomplishment especially because my training has not been as consistent as it should have been. I planned my run yesterday by scheduling a time to go and mapping out the course I was going to follow on logyourrun.com(you can view the route I followed below). When I planned my run I did not consider how up and down the roads that I would be taking were and by the time I reached the end of Hillsboro Rd (the name says it all) my legs were on fire but I kept on trucking along my five mile path. I finished the run in fifty minutes. I am fully aware that it is not a record breaking time but I am proud of the fact that I was able to maintain a constant speed and complete five ten minute miles. My goal is to get down to 8 minute miles before the marathon. Fingers Crossed!
