Yesterday got 4.22 miles in 36 minutes. Lots of hills. I started from home, so had our hill to go down, and then the hill going into town to go up. Our hill on the way back, really took a lot out of me, but I just kept pushing as best as I could. It was a good run for an evening run. I hadn't planned on running, but just couldn't pass up the great weather.
Then today, another great looking day, and a little warmer. Drove into Madison and ran in the Arboretum. It really is a great place to run. Some hills, but mostly flat. Through the woods, the prairies, the wetlands. It's a nice run (not as nice as Colorado, but what can be?). I was hoping to get 5 miles in today, and I did. 5.04 miles in 44:40 with an 8:52 average pace. I'm more than thrilled with that. Just past 4.5 miles where I made a turn back, I suddenly got what felt like a burst of speed. Any fatigue that I felt seemed to disappear. I'm not sure what it was. Suddenly it was like nothing mattered. It was great! I didn't want to stop. When my running app announced 5 miles, I had a hard time slowing down. It's like I wanted to keep going. I probably could have, but didn't want to risk injury at this point. Only about 3 weeks left until Crazylegs and then a month after that is Boulder.

I really can't believe this is all happening. I know it's not a big deal to some, but for me it kind of is. I'm loving every minute of it, and I just can't wait to see how things go. This is going to be an awesome year for my running, I just know it!!
