Fast is ... well, pretty damn cool!

Monday's run was at 3:45/2:15 and I did it alone. I chose to run at the greenway after 'the incident' last week at the park. Nothing serious and I'll share the story some other time.

It was another challenging run to say the least. I got through the last four sets by singing (in my head) two songs ... '1999' and 'I'm Henry the 8th' ... lord help me it was that bad!

It was the first time, after a run, where I just wanted to curl up in a ball and sleep - NOW.

Pretty cool to realize I was almost running four whole minutes!!!

Then came ONES, which we do on Tuesday. I ~heart~ ones. We run one minute then walk a minute - repeat 10 times. This week we decided we'd run FAST and I can honestly say it's the first time I've ran that fast since I was a kid. What a great feeling it was. I felt FREE. Coolest thing was to remember not so long ago when it took all I had to continue running for a full 60 seconds.

Is it possible that someday I'll feel that good running at 3:45???

Happy running!

ps - 3:45 = 3 mins 45 secs
