Today I achieved a PR! It is small, but for me it is mighty.
I have only been running since.. March? 2013 ish. And I went straight head on into the half marathon idea.
Sept my fastest 5km was 32 min 23 seconds. I was positive I would stay above the 30 minute mark for pretty much my entire life. But today on a nice fun Resolution Run, I managed 29 min 11 seconds!
Some other fun stats for 2013:
Longest run was 23.4km in 2:37:23, 6:44 min/km, Long Slow Distance and out of the blue on a rainy Sunday
Half Marathon PR: 21.4km in 2:23:28, 6:43min/km, "Racing" against myself but also with the only goal of finishing...
10km: 1:12:16, 7:13min/km (not a race, just a 10km run)
Also I logged approximately 1035km since I began my running journey in 2013. 326 hours, 107000 calories :S (okay the scale seriously never saw those get burned! In fact I gained like 8 pounds in December... 160... not cool, not cool at all!!)
What else has happened this year in that lifey life thing battling food and exercise.
Raw food (fruit and veg, not meat) cleanses (super fun)
Juice fasts (exhausting and expensive)
Workout DVDs
Spin Bike purchase
Home gym reno....
ummmm oh right, the family!
Fabulous year of laughs and... testing children.
A lot changes in a 3 year old and 4.5 year old in a year and now I have an almost 4 and 5.5 year old :S HOLY CRAP
My gift to myself starting tomorrow, (because today I HAD to finish my gluten free pumpkin pie, have a Starbucks, some shortbread.....), is the gift of 5am working out downstairs. Followed by a short run when my dear husband gets home from work.
I don't have anything amazing to share. Sadly. Just another day in ?paradise?.
