Fantastic Four!

Today I had my best run yet!!!  Maybe it was because I ate prior to my run (usually I don't).  Maybe it was the nice but not too cool weather.  Maybe it was just that the everything fell perfectly into place. 

I crushed my goal for December to run 4 miles without stopping.  I ran 4 miles in 46 minutes (pace 11:36), and it was awesome!  I truly enjoyed running the entire time.  I wasn't counting down the time or miles at all, and I even felt like I could have kept running after 4.  Baby steps though.

I ran around one of the golf courses in our community here in Reunion.  I ran 1.6 miles out and then 1.6 back before cutting off the course and onto one of the streets and finishing up my 4 in the neighborhood.  I have never felt more happy and excited.  I felt like I really accomplished something I've been working really hard towards.

I'm so excited!

YAY FOR 4!

hip hip horray!

I really enjoyed running on the golf course!!!  The pros were:  

- there were bathrooms along the course

- there were water and ice dispensers

- there was a lot of little hills but also a lot of flat parts

- it was virtually empty on the course today (I saw one man power walking- no golfers today i suppose)
- the landscaping was beautiful (although not so green, this course could use some rain!)
