It was only about this time a year ago that I started running seriously.
Where by "seriously," I mean, "DAMNIT. I'm finishing that stupid 5K because everyone and their sister can do it and I'm going to finish the damn thing." So I went out and did my piddly little half hour, three times a week, and hoped that on the day of, it wouldn't suck, and I could do the 3.1 miles.
This week? I hit the blog century milestone. 100 miles run since March.
When I first started running, my only goal was to finish the 5K, and do it in a less than 15-minute mile.
The century milestone? I passed my pace time than I did at that very first 5K -- and then, I'd run past that 15-minute goal like it was nothing. (11:49/11:50, depending on which timer you go by.)
And major kudos to Lancome Absolu Velours. I applied in the morning before work, reapplied before an afternoon meeting, and it still looked just as good after the run as it did when I left work. Worth every single penny.
No, I didn't intend to match it to my top. Sometimes, these things just happen.
