8's for the Win!

No one showed up for my after-work group run...sigh.

It can't discourage me for long! I drove home, Alex was already out for his ride (althought I called, he answered, I said I was stressed, he said "let me flip around and come home," I said "nah, I'm gonna run - you get your ride in") What a sweetie :) I set out for my run. Mile 1 = 8:04...let's see what it feels like to keep this up. Mile 2 = 8:03...right on! Mile 3 = 8:02...boom shakalaka...now for a rest mile...I think I could have held it though. Keep in mind, zero pain, just a slightly more labored breathing. I'm shaping up! Mile 4 = 8:49...that was on purpose. Mile 5 = 7:54...love it - literally fist pumped while running. Mile 6 = 8:04...done! Mile 7 = 8:50...on purpose again :)

Then we took Kenda to the park. Yada Yada Yada.

Then we had delicious chili, pulled pork nachoes with roasted brussel sprouts and carrots. Delicious.

Then I watched tv. A little 'New Girl' and a little 'Biggest Loser.'

I'm at 8's without really pushing? I can hardly believe it. Fist pump.
