I felt like I was hauling around 100 lbs of extra weight.
I felt like I had lead in my shoes and someone had poured glue into my muscles.
But after 2.5 miles, I started really focusing on the movement of my body, consciously relaxing, and thinking about all the training techniques I have learned.
I could not believe my eyes when I looked at my Garmin and my pace was 8 minutes 20 seconds/mile.
On top of that I felt great!
It is is one of my goals to increase my pace and I want to do as much as I can before it is no longer physically possible. I felt like it was one of those breakthrough days, where a light bulb goes off and it all makes sense.
I can't wait to test the waters on my 10 mile run tomorrow!
