I’ll huff…and I’ll puff…and I will run 5 miles.

Believe me, it was not a joy run by any means, but I was shocked to find that when I finished, I had maintained my normal average pace (9’40″/mile) even in a much longer distance. That put a smile on my face! I sort of can’t believe that I actually ran 5 miles because 3 months ago, I couldn’t even run 1. Thank God that my run tomorrow only has to be 2 miles! I love my iPod/Nike+ coach, but bumping me up to a 5 mile run wasn’t exactly heart-warming in the figurative sense. I don’t even want to see what next week’s running schedule looks like.

P.S. I have now reached a total of 154 miles! I have less than 1 mile to run before I hit the next Nike running level: green!! Hurray!
