I don't celebrate birthdays anymore, at least not officially. All gifts are still greatly appreciated and definitely when I say I don't celebrate birthdays, gifts ARE different than birthdays (need my address?). I've really only stopped the aging part. Even though I'm not aging, I'm continuing to get healthier and even though I want to punch every person in the face who says this phrase, "I'm in the best shape of my life", I'm saying it.
Last year, I had never ran a 5K. I'm not even sure I could even do a mile. Fast forward and a mile is hardly a warm up. For not aging this whole year, I've made amazing progress! To celebrate my feats, I was curious how fast I could run a mile. Training for this Marathon, it's been all about distance and nothing about speed. I know I've gotten faster, time to see. Put on the newly purchased gift to myself, my New Balance 870's, and I came out with a mile in 6 minutes 19 seconds.
Thought for sure I could pull a sub six mile, but maybe next year!
