Just when I thought I couldn’t possibly run any faster, that is exactly what I did today.

A new PR!!!  My stress level was through the roof this morning and I had planned on waiting until the sun came out to run but at about 11am I just couldn’t take it anymore, so I ran.  My stress worked as a great motivator to run fast, I ran undistracted without headphones and I ran faster than I thought possible.  With each step of the run my stress dissipated a little more until it was gone, that is why I love to run!

Wow, I have only run a sub-8 minute mile once and that was last year during boot camp where we were running as fast as we could for just 1 mile, I finished in 7:16.  Today was the first time I have ever run a sub-8 minute mile during training, there is always a first for everything but I am hoping to be able to repeat this again and again.  My confidence with speed is increasing, hopefully I can keep it up for my upcoming race.

What is your fastest mile?
