I went to the park this afternoon with a friend and accomplished the unthinkable - I jogged 4.25 miles!!! The weather was absolutely perfect and I really needed to be outside. I have been feeling crazy and overwhelmed all week so the fresh air was something I have been looking forward to since Sunday. Anyways - I am not sure which stars aligned just right, but I trudged through and didn't even get super out of breathe until the last quarter mile. And that was because I was trying to catch up with my friend and she was listening to her head phones too loud to hear me. I finally gave up and threw something at her to get her attention. Either way though - I am BEYOND surprised at and proud of my achievement. And not only did I jog all of 4.25 miles, but I did it at a fairly decent pace.
1st mile - 11:37 min
2nd mile - 23:55 min
3rd mile - 12:42 min
4th mile - 24:45 min
I didn't time the quarter mile. After the jogging, I walked a quarter mile as a cool down.
After the miracle - my friend and I met up with a 3rd amiga for happy hour. We celebrated with delicious frozen beverages and free nachos. Haha - not the best way to suplement the calories I burned, but it tasted great! Until... it didn't anymore. But, the queesiness passed so I was able to enjoy an evening roaming around the boardwalk with the 3rd amiga. :)All in all - an AMAZING day!
