When I Say…

Track… fast run around the track this morning?

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I MEANT!

Dudes, I ran an 11 minute mile!  When did that happen??

I wasn’t sure I was going to run at all – I’ve got a busy week ahead with more rehearsals, performances, visitors and family reunion.  Physically, I’m tired from weekend performances and a 5 hour rehearsal last night.

I woke up early this morning and something inside me just told me to get out there and RUN a mile.  JUST A MILE.  I guess I wanted to get it over with quickly – because it was incredibly FAST and I didn’t feel like I was pushing it at all. 

Whatevs.  I’ll take it!

I took this photo because I love running in lane 3.  I don’t know why – I think it’s a favorite number of mine – I have a thing for odd numbers.

Also, it’s not the pressure of being number ONE and yet – it’s not the outside lane either.

A little crazy, I know.

It was also great to have LIVE marching band accompaniment while I was running.  Thank you – Char-Houston HS Band!

I am going to re-set the mileage ticker, but wanted to make note that as of July 31, 2011 it stands at:

167.1 miles.

I was 7.1 miles past my July target.

My goal for August, 2011 will be to add another 30 miles.

Let’s DO IT!
