A little bit faster now...🏃🏻‍♀️💨

Wednesdays are for treadmill runs and I got my 3 miles of interval / speed training in today. Things have been going well so I kept my promise to keep pushing myself. 

I leveled up by adding an incline of 1.0 to the entire run. Moved up my base pace from a 6.5 to a 6.6 and also shifted my intervals from 7.6 - 8.1 to 7.7 - 8.2. This all provided sufficient challenge.  My heart rate was elevated and each time I bumped my push pace to the next level I had that "oh crap" moment. It was getting harder and it would be so easy to not inch up the interval or just be done with the run. But I know there is no change without challenge.  Plus once I get to the other side of the interval and once the run is done I'm so glad I stuck with it. That pride and confidence is priceless. "YES YOU CAN!" I believe I'll be using this as one of my marathon mantras. 

Three miles and thirty minutes later, utterly exhausted, I achieved the goal! 

I know things do and will get tough along the way, but if we put our mind to it we can see our way through it💪🏼

Hope everyone had a great day! Go out there and make yourself proud!

30 more runs to go!
