I shaved 30 seconds off today and that makes me happy :) I started the sprints at 7's, increased to 7.5's, 7.7's and finally 8's. 8 is FAST! But I think I can do more of those next time. If I get to run outside tomorrow my goal will be simply to reach 3.1 miles, outside, in the heat, with hills and whatnot. Fingers crossed I get to do this!
Another thing I need to do is get to a running store & get fitted for some real sneakers. The ones I've been running in are taking a toll on my body, and it's getting pretty sad. I am now missing part of a toe due to a blister incident. The short of it is: There was a blister. It popped. There was a flap of skin. I went to remove said flap of skin. There is now a gaping hole in my toe. Very painful. And I'm having some aches and pains in my feet, knees and back, all of which I am sure are related to the $20 sneakers I am wearing. So to Fleet Feet in Marlton I go! Hopefully! I've been saying this for over a week now, and every day it just gets too late to go. But I NEED new sneakers and I have to get something that can hold my inhaler and a cell phone while I run, preferably on a wrist or anywhere else besides a fanny pack-ish thing.
So, to recap this fantastically long blog entry: I am awesome. I need new sneakers.
