The weather in Carrboro today is stunning. Temps are in the low 60s, and Fall is in the air. I headed out to McDougle Middle School, where our No Boundaries group sometimes meets, and hit the track. I had a goal of 2 miles, and 2 miles I did.
I have no expectation at this point. I am simply getting back into running after London. So out I went. My first mile felt comfortable. I didn't feel I was pushing it. I was thrilled to be on a flat surface, as flatness is not easy to find here in this area. Well imagine my surprise when I ran my first mile in 14:17.
I felt good, and I was weaving around little kids were using the track for their bike rides. Parents were also playing soccer with the kids in the infield. So this was a family environment. I had the music playing on my phone, so the kids appreciated Justin Timberlake as I went around them.
My second mile was slower but not by that much - 15:13. So yes I finished 2 miles in under 30 minutes, which for me is phenomenal. I'm working with my personal trainer for the half marathon, and at this moment all things are go to start and finish the half in March.
