Woohoo - the Plodding continues


To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.   - Anatole France

Yeah - hard to believe it has happened, but I ran the calculation, and then ran it again... for the first time in my life, I have run a little over 4 1/2 miles with an average of LESS than 10 minutes-per-mile! Last night, I ran 4.53 in 45:00 which is a 9:55 average! I am so stoked. For some reason, the usual 5.7 - 5.8 on the treadmill seemed slow and I felt like I was trying to run off the front of the treadmill, so I cranked it up to 5.9, then 6.0 and then to 6.1 for the last 15 minutes... 
Let's just hope it wasn't a fluke (maybe the calibration on the treadmill was off?)
