I rocked the 2-mile run

So I completed the 2-mile run yesterday. I was hoping to make it in under 25 minutes. I came up with 25 because my 2-mile split during the 5k race a couple weeks ago was 26 minutes and change. Not only did I make it in under 25 minutes but I completed it in under 22 minutes. I haven't seen my official time yet. Hopefully it will be online soon. As soon as it is I'll post the time.
I felt that I pushed myself pretty hard because I was gutted at the end of the race and picked up the pace going up the last hill.
I rewarded myself with a new pair of running shoes designated solely for that and nothing else. I've been wearing a couple different pairs that got me by but I needed something just for running.
I purchased a pair of Asics GT-2150 from Manhattan Running Co. Being properly fitted for a shoe will make me feel even better. Can't wait to try them out but the 37 degree low in the morning isn't very appealing.

  2. I am really impressed with your hard work--you have inspired me to stop consuming sugar starting today. (Been thinking of quitting for a couple weeks now and one of my son's friends is on a health food kick too and has already lost 50lbs.) It's great to post your information online and keep tabs that way.
