2 miles - Shaving Seconds



I wasn't sure how this run would go. I had run 1.5 miles on Thursday, so I was worried going back to 2.0 miles would be a bit of a stretch. I talked to A on Friday, and she suggested to go slow on the mile out, so I'd be able to make it on the mile back.

I headed out, and made sure not to "push." I kept my playlist on good, even, pace-making songs; "Born to Run," "Livin' on a Prayer," "Princes of the Universe." I'm getting to the point where I can actually feel that I have a pace, rather than "ohgoddon'tletmedieouthere, ohgoddon'tletmedieouthere..."

This run I shaved 20 seconds off my pace. The mile out that I was doing a pace? Was faster than I've done, even on Thursday's shorter run. The training plan so far seems to be working. I'm feeling confident that I'll be finishing the 5K under an hour.
