Workout 7/11/24

It’s crazy how you can run in one area for a literal decade and never go a different way that is not even a mile away. There’s a profund life lesson in that…

So, I took the road less traveled today and was rewarded for it! It’s not like I have never driven these streets. But there’s a difference between running and driving a road. You take in so much more of your surroundings when running!

It was an easy 5 miles that I finished in 39:57. Right at an 8 min/mile pace. Every time I complete a run like this, I can’t help but feel grateful and accomplished. Six months ago, that same run would have been closer to a 10 min/mile. To shave off 2 mins per mile in half a year feels incredible!
