Be Patient

After taking a week off for Spring Break you would think that my mile time this week would be pretty bad, or just the same. During the break I did run and work out a bit, but I also did not eat very healthy.

Today I decided to run my mile before the rest of my workout. I went up to the track thinking that I wasn't going to be very fast. I had my songs ready and started. There weren't a lot of people on the track which was really nice. A lot of times before I run I think to myself: It's just me and the track and my legs. I can do this. While negative thoughts did pop up in my mind, I let myself be positive. Towards the end I told myself I could do this. I also felt awesome passing up a group of guys (three of them) twice, but they weren't running as fast as they could have I am sure (maybe just warming up). I didn't look at my time for awhile, but I was thinking about how long the songs were on my ipod. Then when I was on my last lap I had to push myself. One more lap! That was it and then I would be done. I checked my timer right towards the very end and the time surprised me. I was going to be faster! Wait what?!

My time: 6:41.88

I couldn't have been happier. I was shocked and my thoughts after this were to thank God. And I did. This was a blessing that I needed after not feeling my best. Not only was I faster than my last time.....but I was about 10 seconds faster! That's a lot considering I hit a plateau.

To end I want to share my songs for my mile. There are only two. The first is always the same, the second has only changed once.

1. Winner (feat. Justin Timberlake & T.I.)-Jamie Foxx

2. Be My Escape-Relient K (before it was Runaway-Avril Lavigne)

Today was a success. It goes to show that if you really put your heart into something, eventually you will see results. Remember to Be Patient.
