I feel pretty proud of myself today! i ran the farthest i've ran in 6 years! i started off the track at a good pace and continued moving at a strong pace. my breathing started to get heavy and i wasn't sure if i was going to make it but i kept pushing! soon i rounded the first hundred meters and my time was 1:05, i was exactly on pace to break 2 minutes. on this staight away i pushed my turn over faster cause these are my stronger points of the lap, but i just could breathe anymore, so i grabbed my inhaler out of my side pocket on my shoe and took it which helped A TON!!!!!
soon i was half way finished but my time was a sad 2:15 :( i was only half way done and my time was already out of reach... i think i was because of the 5 seconds i took taking the inhaler...bummer. but i could still get a PR which is under 15 minutes.
third hundred meter split was a bit fast seeing how my time was 2:59... it might have been because i cut a big through the field but no one was looking so i dont think i matters. anyway, this last hundred meters i knew would be the hardest, but i'm known for my kick and so i thought i could break 3 minutes and for me, that is incredible! half way through i couldn't breathe again but i knew i couldn't stop for the inhaler so i kept pushing... then all of a sudden 20 cows blocked my way to the finished but luckly i was running with a shotgun on my back so i shot them all off in about 10 minutes, then finally continued my run until i cross the finish line with a new PR of 14:39.34!
i'm kind of sad that those cows got in the way of breaking 3 minutes but you know how it is living in iceland. and you know what i always say "you can't beat a dog to a cat's belly" hahahahahahhhahahahahahahahahahahahahhahaha....oh man i love that quote.
well since i did this distance all at once i'll just take an easy the rest of the week and just limit my walking to the fridge and couch. i'm glad to get this in though and with a new PR! life is so good. and you know what the french say about cheese, "if you cant beat em', eat em'" hahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahaha...ooh my poor husband....he should've let me beat em'.... anyway, i'll type again tomorrow. bye! |
