Personal Record

This morning I had a great day at the gym.  The husband started a new position at work, which means I won't always have to be waking at a ridiculous hour to get my workout in.  This morning I didn't go to the gym until 6am.  I felt energized because I got a decent amount of sleep last night.  I opted to skip a run day and instead did the Arc trainer.  I feel a little stiff in some areas from doing KenpoX yesterday.  As I was on the Arc trainer I decided that once I was done with those 45 minutes I would head to the treadmill for a quick run.  I was feeling looser and felt like I could get a mile in.  I'm not going to lie, I was using other people as motivation.  I'm a people watcher so I notice what people are doing and thought "Hey if that person can run after being on the elliptical for so long then I surely can too."  AND I saw one of my friends who is in our Fluff to Fit competition so that gave me more motivation.  I'm competitive - what can I say?  So anywho I hopped on the treadmill with the goal of running the whole thing at 6.0.  I then upped it to 6.1.  Eventually I ended at 6.5 with a PR of a 9:46 mile.  Slow to some but fast to me.  And it all felt so great!  I love walking away from the gym all sweaty.
