I just wanted to share that today I ran a 7:38 mile. This isn’t huge, this isn’t a record. But for me it’s the first sub 8 minute mile I have ran in about a decade and I feel fucking PUMPED.
Anyone who’s out there struggling to meet what they used to be able to do easily, it’s okay. We all feel that at one point or another. What matters is setting goals and working to get there no matter how long it takes.
That’s so funny, I have a friend who used to run but hasn’t in about a decade. He did a 4:45km last week! Almost the same as yours and he was also super pumped about it! Well done! Great way to end 2023 and on to better things in 2024!
