Hallelujah! All praise to sports-gear engineers!

I am an Enell convert.  Never before has running been so comfortable.  I might be naming our next child Enell.  Hallelujah, Amen!

I ran 2miles!!!!

I ran 1 mile on the treadmill the other day at 12min/mile pace.  So today, I started out with the girls and I thought “run up this first hill, then walk if you need to.”  But I kept running.  Then I thought “I’ll run to this intersection, then take a walk/break.”  But I kept running.  Then I thought “get to your 1 mile mark, check your watch, take a break.”  But I kept running.  And I kept running.  And I kept running until all the sudden, we were at the park!  TWO MILES later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I haven’t run 2 miles in I don’t know how long… probably 4 years or more.  And, I paced out at an 11 minute mile which isn’t the slowest I could go!  I feel amazing!  My legs were tired, but not shot.  I kept my breathing under control.  I can’t believe I did it!

I have 1 more 2 mile run before I increase my distance.  It hit me today, I WILL be able to run this 5k in October!!
