Guess what? My nerves--and my wicked awesome pink/black Saucony Kilkennys--made the mile worth it. PR worth it.
6:54 to be exact.
The finish. Please ignore my spandex...and bad arm form. |
Well, hello "Under-7-Minutes!" I'm not sure I've ever seen you before in my mile time trials! HECK YEAH! During the entire run I made sure not even to take a glance at Gus the Garmin. Not once. When I beeped Gus to a stop at the end of four laps I looked at his bland digital face and did a little schoolgirl squeal. EEK!
"Under SEVEN!" I exclaimed to a waiting Trav. Add a little happy dance and my track workout was complete. Ahhhhh. So amazing, that feeling of accomplishment.
And to think I doubted myself.
Just remember you CAN do it. But you have to get out there first...
Trav & I post-mile. He did well too! |
Our adorable cheerleader, Goober |
Congrats!!!!
ReplyDeleteDude! Awesome!
ReplyDelete6:54 was my mile in junior high PE (we had to run a timed mile for that PE test thing).
What track did you go to? If we train for a 5k, we gotta do some track workouts...
That is really awesome! I've done that a few times recently (writhin the last 12-18 months) and I know how hard that is physically to just go all out for a mile. Well done.
ReplyDeleteWhoot whoot!!!! That's awesome speedy girl! Goober could not be cuter!!
ReplyDeleteI've never done a mile trial. I've never thought about doing it until recently. I get very nervous thinking about it because of how bad I might suck at it. I think I may have to break down and do it one day soon. EEEK!
ReplyDeletesub 7 is some serious speed, congrats!
ReplyDeleteSuper speedy!! Congrats!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen anything close to under 7 since my highschool days. Way to go on that Zoe! Congratulations. Was this a mile time trial? I expect to do one in march with hopes of getting under 9. hahaha. Take care, and thanks for the motivation!
