I had an awesome run today! 13 miles in 2:34 --- Thats a sub-12 min mile pace, and more imporantly, a personal best by 6 minutes!!! How cool is that ? It's funny how I can feel SO awful one day and so energetic the next. I hope my marathon day is one like today. I didn't even mind the cold (colder than last week) and the snow which started around mile 8 covering the roads before I got back to the community center.
I hope this motivation will carry over to my weekly miles starting Monday and I hope that I can get my diet back on track. This past week I took a little vacation from healthful eating -- movie popcorn with the kids, chips and dip watching the olympics with my hubby. It was a nice February vacation for the kids (and me too) but its OVER.
My new washing machine will be delivered tomorrow. I know how I will spend my day of rest...

Nice improvement on the PR. I wonder if it was something that you ate. Amazing how our diet can affect our performance. It is one choice that we can actually make that will change our lives multiple times a day.

Well, I would have to say that I fueled this run entirely on Jelly beans -- I was out of gu! Maybe I'll try it for my 18 miler and see if that's the ticket!
