born to run?

I suspect many runners and many bloggers who run have read or are meaning to read Born to Run by christopher mcdougall.its awesome. Without giving out the main punchline its a story of runners and ultramarathoners and how the human being is meant to run.

I've only run 2x since last Sunday. With 1x being 5 minutes this am through a wind advisory (I'm headed out in a few for todays run). To be frank I don't know what I used to do before running. Not running makes me anxious and nervous and not me. The me I know runs. And runs often at that. I ran about 4.6m on Thanksgiving, under a 10min pace. How has that pace suddenly become 'pace'? Was it just breaking the barrier that was tough?

I'm headed to London for work this week. Looking fwd to running Hyde Park :)

Hope to sneak a run in tomorrow too. 3x a week seems paltry! Want to be up to pace and speed for the NYC half seeing as the Manhattan one won't work schedule wise for me!

I broke 10 min pace!

38:11 in yesterdays 4m race.
I know breaking the 10:00 pace mark isnt a huge deal to many but to me it really REALLY is. I didn't wear a watch so I'm not 100% sure of the splits but a) they were negative and b) my fastest mile was the hills in the park!

Ran 5 miles Friday night so am feelign strong even with only 12 miles last wk!
