Went for the Friday morning run. Was feeling good, though running a little late. Warmed up. Decided to go at race pace. Wanted to see where I was at, how my body is adapting to regular exercise. One mile. 6 laps. Ready. Set. Go.<\/p>\n
Lap 1: 50 seconds
\nLaps 2-5: 55-65 seconds
\nLap 6: 60 seconds<\/p>\n
Total time: 6:15<\/p>\n
“Holy crap!” That was unexpected. I’ve written here before about my goal of running a sub-6 minute mile. I hadn’t been able to get there since high school, and thought my body still might be up to it. Now I know<\/strong> my body is up to the task. I’m a mere 16 seconds away. <\/p>\n The run felt good today, too. I feel like I’ve been suffering a lot on my runs lately. Lots of little aches and pains. For me it’s the minor aches that hurt most. It seems that a tiny little tingle in my shin leads to me thinking that my whole leg will be in pain soon. Generally I’m right about these things, but I wonder how much of the pain is psychological. If I expect pain, then maybe my body is simply trying to match the expectation…<\/p>\n Anyway…I’ll continue my diligence, keep hitting the track, and will soon get that goal. 5:59, here I come. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Went for the Friday morning run.
