A Running Breakthrough
To disable ads, please log-in.
Finally sub 10 minutes!
I have a mile loop that I run in the mornings.
First loop 10 minutes flat.
Second loop - 9:54
Third loop - 9:40
Usually my first loop is the fastest and the last loop (sometimes I do 4) is the second fastest.
It's the first time I've averaged less than ten minutes since I started running 18 months ago. I guess the stars were aligned just right. They were pretty at 5:15 AM.
What a great way to start the day!

Congratulations - that is wonderful!
Doesn't it feel great to accomplish what you've been striving for?
And, congratulations on having the motivation to do it at 5:15 in the morning!

That's just a fantastic feeling when you have a quantifiable validation of your hard work and training. Congratulations! I hope the stars are just as beautiful for you tomorrow.
