Today was my long run, 2 miles. Okay stop laughing, it was long to me. On Monday and Wednesday I run for 20 minutes plus warm up and cool down. But on Saturdays I do a long run. This week it is 2 miles, next week it will be 2.5. Anyhow, two thirds the way through the run I started to have labored breathing, and my legs started to hurt. I looked at my phone app and it said I was at 1.6 miles which is what I usually run on Mondays and Wednesdays. My body knew I had reached that point and it said it was done. I kept running and I got my best time ever! Yes, some people walk as fast as I run. But that is okay, I am happy I am doing well. I am hoping in a week to bump up my walk/run ratio from Super duper slow to really really slow:-)
I like this meme because I am slow, I have a low run/walk ratio, and I have a hard time considering myself a runner. However, I feel that it is a mindset I have to change. I do run, therefore I am a runner. I am a Super Duper Slow runner!
