Going the Extra Mile

I did it! I did it! I did it! I ran into the double digits! That's right 10 miles baby!!!! and I did it at a 9:18 minutes per mile average!!! I am so excited this is the farthest I have EVER ran or even walked probably in my entire life and it feels AAAAMMMMAAAAZZZZINNNGGGG!!!!! I did it all on my own no partner today :( not even the dog! My first 5 miles were slower than the last go figure! I was only scheduled to run 9 miles today and that was what I set out to do but I did the reservoir path again and by the time I hit 9 miles I was still 1 mile from my car so I figured why not go the extra mile! and that ended up being my fastest mile! I just felt so empowered to push my body like that! Because my body was YELLING at me to stop by mile 6 or 7 but I will tell my body when to stop, and by mile 8 my legs were pretty much numb and all pain went away ha! I felt like I was a tape with the play button pushed down and there was no stopping me until I pushed stop! I had to take my hoodie off don't ask why I wore that I have no idea but I got all twisted up and almost tripped on a rock but I didn't let it stop me, even when my music got messed up from unplugging my headphones to untangle my mess I created! I'm sure some people were looking at me funny!

There we sooooo many people out on the path today! I'm guessing that is how it always is on the weekends. I had to do the 5 mile path twice which really was not that fun doing it got so boring!!! but it was the only place I knew I could run without any stoplights or worries about getting hit by a car ha! I will test out the boardwalk soon!

It was really motivating and inspiring to see all the different types of people and fitness levels out there! I just want to let y'all know if you need a little motivation or inspiration try to get to a place like this! It will motivate you and it will push you! I am happy to report that I was only passed my 2 people on my entire 10 mile run which made me feel extremely good! and of course I passed a lot of runners which also felt good! I'm still giving props to everyone out there but if you ask me yes I'm still racing y'all hahaha! Well not much to report since it was pretty much Thursday's blog times 2! Happy Weekend y'all XOXO
