Tori and I walked 2.17 mile last night and for the first time in 6 months I was back under a 20 minute mile. Yay me! We were actually also faster in the second half of the walk than in the first which made me feel strong.
It was a really rough walk though, my feet were killing me. It was like walking in pins and needles. Afterwards we went right to the store and bought me a new pair of shoes. Hopefully that will make a huge different. I can't imagine that it would make it worse.
The best part though is even after three straight days of serious walks or work outs I don't feel like I'm going to die today. I'm a little achy but it's nothing major. I also cleared a big mental hurdle today about the Princess 1/2. I looked up the race results for 2012 and saw that the last person from Florida crossed the finish line at 4:32:25. That means that they were just over a 20 minute pace and they didn't get swept!
Oh my god... I may actually be able to do this. I was having a huge mental block about having to get down to 15 minute miles. I have NEVER been at a 15 minute mile, but maybe I don't have to? Maybe really the only thing that I need to worry about is my endurance. It's a lot easier for me to just focus on one goal.
