julieruns Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 This is my first post here on NF though I've been getting some major inspiration from this site over the last month. I finally got off the couch and started running again (for the first time in 2 years) this Spring. I was excrutiatingly slow - like 14 or 15 minute/mile. I used to be closer to a 10 minute mile. I've been reading a lot about form and also doing more biking and yoga. Just this past Friday I went out and was surprised that my legs felt pretty good. When I returnedh home my pedometer showed that I ran 2 miles in 16 minutes - WHAT?!?!?! This is unheard of speed for me and I wasn't even trying to push my pace at all. I don't know what happened but I couldn't be more stoked. Now I just have to get my endurance back up. Thanks for this great place to post these milestones!! Quote Link to comment
