3 miles last night
Comfortably, and in less than 30 minutes. Ran most of it at about 6.6 mph, then picked it up to 7.0, then 7.6 mph for the last half-mile. No knee pain, either. Half-marathon training continues!
I remember reading a quote last year about “giving yourself permission to be fast.” When you’re used to being a bigger dude (as I was most definitely), you get used to plodding. Having lost a bunch of weight since those days, I think that my body can still surprise my brain sometimes.
“We can do this? This fast? Without dying? Alright!!!!!”
Gaslight Anthem’s “Drive” was the soundtrack to my all-out run at the end. Couldn’t have been more perfect.
