Wow! Just WOW! When I said I felt that I could have run better earlier in the day with my new focus on stride I didn't imagine this. I can't even wait until the end of the post to put up my stats so here they are:

Only two minutes were above a 13 minute pace, and I have my best time ever! 10:25 pace! I didn't know I could get anywhere near that. As I was running I realized that my endurance is improving. If you've been reading, nearly everyday has had at least one point of walking, an unplanned shut down of my body. This time, I didn't have that. I simply kept moving. Did I get tired? Yeah. Were my legs burning? Of course. Yet, for the first time, I was able to push through it and keep moving. Each time my rest minute was over, I picked up the pace and ran. Changing my running form has helped as well. Using less vertical movement helped me to go faster. I wasn't in near the pain after my run. I like this!
Woohoo!! Good job Liz!
