I'm a slow runner. My usual pace is about 10 minute miles, sometimes 10:30. Imagine my surprise when I came home after 2 miles and saw that I did it in 17 minutes! I ran much faster than I normally do and felt great!

2 Miles
When I got home tonight I had 30 minutes before M and the boys would be home. I wanted to get a run in but I was feeling super unmotivated. The quiet house all to myself sounded really appealing. I forced myself to get dressed and head out though. I told myself I wasn't going to set out on any set mileage run. I was just going to run. When I stopped enjoying it I could turn around and come back.

It definitely made me think that maybe I need to get out of my head sometimes. I shouldn't get so hung up on how far I want to run and instead just run. Because 8 months ago I wasn't running more than a minute without having to take a walk break.
