Run today was a total of 8 miles in 58 minutes but the target was doing 7 miles in 50 minutes (roughly a 7:08 min mile or 8.4 mph). Started with a half mile warm-up, did the 7 miles, then finished with a half mile cool down.
Sometimes running is highly pleasurable. I can't say this is a result from the so-called "runner's high" as it took me 3 1/2 years to even begin to like running. No kidding that I never looked forwarded to it and basically just had to do it as part of a routine or I could have easily talked myself out of it. I also read an article that showed at least one study indicating that only about 50% of runners experience a runner's high and that is after sustained running (running many miles in one session, not referring to cummulative amount). I am not a person that experiences runner's highs but I have come to enjoy it. Today was a day that it just felt fantastic to be running. Savor those moments!
Good job babe...impressed as always! :)
