Just a quick bragging moment

Last night I went to the gym, I wasn't wanting to go, I wanted to stay home and watched another episode of Lost. I did go and I am glad I did. I ran on the treadmill and I ran the fastest I've ever ran, I warmed up for 2 minutes then I put the speed on, I ran 1.3 miles in 8 minutes (that equals just over a 6 minute mile) I then slowed way down for my 5 minute cool down. I know that's not a terrible long time to run, but it was fun to go fast, and I felt so good afterwards. Yea for me!

Wow, that's awesome, way to go!! I can't imagine being able to run like that. I used to run like crazy in high school and I am actively missing that joy.

dang girl, that's great! I could maybe do it in about 9 1/2 minutes, but your time puts mine to shame! (: Great job! Good job for going when you didn't want to, as well.

Way to go! Brag away! I love running on the treadmill, but unfortunately I have some sort of hip problem (ok, if you must know, my hips are too wide!) that makes it really painful to run. I should find out if it's something I can work through or if I'm genetically defective. There's something about a good run--it's invigorating, and gives a real sense of accomplishment. I loved it when I was doing it.
