Personal Best
I’ve been running sporadically for a couple of weeks now. My first post-surgery run was a one-miler in 9:51. I was pretty excited about that. I thought I would be crawling, but I wasn’t. My next run (also one mile) was somewhere around 9:30. Wow! I couldn’t believe I cut 20 seconds of my time in a day. A couple of days later, I did a little bit more than a mile. Maybe a mile and a quarter, and I think I did that in about 12 minutes. Not sure.
I wanted to run yesterday but I was lazy and ended up not going for one. Well, I made up for it today in spades.
I have absolutely no idea how this is possible, but I ran 2.33 miles in 12:17. Wait, what?! I looked at my stopwatch and thought, ‘This can’t be right. This isn’t possible.’ I checked it with mapmyrun.com. I still didn’t believe it so I went out and retraced my steps to make sure I didn’t unknowingly take a shortcut.
I didn’t.
