One of My Best Runs Ever

Friday, November 5----6.82 miles

WOW! I can't believe this! I felt amazing once I finally got out the door and running! I didn't know the exact mileage until I mapped it out, and man, I wish I would have went just a little bit further to hit that 7 mile mark. But, I am super happy with this run for a couple of reasons. First, I did not look at my watch until I got to the spot where I decided to stop running. This is a big deal for me because I am usually always looking at my watch. I wanted to just try running without being worried about how fast I was going. Secondly, I didn't know exactly where my mile markers were, so I was only guessing how far I had gone. I am surprised that I was this close to 7 miles. I figured by the time on my watch when I stopped running that it was just a little over 6 miles. I am still in shock with this pace! I felt really good throughout the run and so happy that I got out of the house and did it! I always feel better when I do, but sometimes just getting out of the house and doing it is half the battle. ;) Beautiful weather and a great run, what else can you ask for! Oh, and another new PR...crazy, but I love setting new PR's! It feels great! I finished this 6.82 miles in 1:02 and had an average pace of 9:09 per mile!

Thanks for reading!
