I DID IT!!!!!
I ran 2.5 miles....without stopping. I did it in 27.3 minutes so my pace is still around 11minutes a mile. But, from what I've heard if I can run 3 miles at an 11minute pace then I should be able to do a 10 minute pace on race day because of the crowd, motivation and adrenaline.
The run today, was ok for the first 1 1/2 miles and then, about mile 2, I turned a corner to come down Baldwin and BAM, cold, blow-you-over wind. So, I thought that that last 1/2 mile would kill me but, I know sooooo much of it is mental so I pushed forward and beat it. I was SOOOOOOOOO FREAKIN excited when my I-pod told me 100 more meters.......and then, CONGRATULATIONS, you've met your goal! (gotta love technological inspiration!)
When I was stretching and icing I thought to myself "How on earth am I going to do 3 miles. Then, as I thought about it, I remembered that I used to say "How on earth am I going to run a mile??" So, I'm proud of how far I've come and I look forward to breaking more personal records.
Sounds like I'm on par for a 5K in a few weeks. Good thing!
