Only two miles on the agenda for yesterday. However, I was feeling decent and wanted to push it a bit. I managed two miles in 17.5 minutes by really pushing myself which is easy to do on such a short run.
I honestly can’t believe that two miles feels so short. My very first two miles seemed eternal. I wonder what it feels like to have that same perspective with regard to half marathons?
Anyone feel that way about a half or perhaps a 10k?

Hey Robert,
Strangely, a 10K is tough from start to finish for me. 6.1 is fine for a regular run, but at race pace, it’s an internal pep talk the whole way. It’s not a real short race, but not long enough to ease into a slower pace. Something about race day pushes me, so on Thanksgiving I tried my first 10K – finished in 51:40 and surprised myself (and beat my 13 year old son… I’ll take my victory because it won’t be long until he leaves me in the dust
Keep running!
