I always run by myself. It’s my time to reflect, think or zone out. Today was different. I asked Alisa if she wanted to ride her bike while I ran.
I had her ride ahead of me for safety and as my pacer. 😉
I’m pretty competitive, but with that said, I generally *think* I’m pushing myself, but I never really knew for sure since there’s no one for me to compare myself to.
I guess the stars aligned for me today or something! 🙂
My personal record for a 5K while racing is 26:00, but my fastest ever was 25:43, until today!
Booyah!!!
I think it’s amazing how my body can do so much more than I think it can. Boy, this was very hard. I did stop twice. Once for water and another to catch my breath since my little heart couldn’t keep up, but even if I didn’t, I would have still beat my P.R.
So the next time you think your body can’t, push yourself just a little harder and see what happens. You might surprise yourself too!
This is the first time I have been truly happy since I lost my little buddy. 🙂
Have you ever had an experience like this?
