I'm setting PR's left and right because I have never pushed for time. I was always "distance" which I now think may have been a great excuse to not breath hard or run hard. I'd be tired after a long run, but I wouldn't be completely zapped like I am at the end of these 1 and 2 milers I've been posting. This is really tough, but a lot of fun.

I had another evening run. At my 1 mile mark, I was running 11:30. My last mile was a 10:00!!! Are you kidding? That was my first goal of 2009 and I just did it again... after running a mile!?
You guys, I'm so pumped about all of this. I don't think I have ever run like this. I'm kinda to the point where I get a little nervous right before I start. In my head I wonder, "Can I make it this time? Is this "speed" going to stay with me? Am I going to peter out soon and see those 13 & 14 minute miles again?" So far, the answer has been a resounding, "NOPE", but I have only been back about a week and a half. I know I will plateau and I'll slow down on my PR's, but at least I wont be in the 14:00 mile category again!!! I can't wait until tomorrow! I'm 1:30 from reaching my 2 mile goal!!!
