untanglingknots.com: Ten Minute Mile

by Karla ° Thursday, August 4, 2005

You will find no modesty or humbleness in this post.

Today, I finally achieved a goal I’ve been working my butt off (literally…it’s helped me loose weight) to achieve the entire summer. Today, I finally ran my ten minute mile. I ran three miles in 30 minutes (ok, 31 minutes, but close enough).

I was able to keep a consistent speed of about 6mph the entire time. I must have required 14 litres of water to keep myself hydrated. Even my earphones wouldn't stay in my ears I was sweating so much.

I'm so excited for this 10km run in the fall.

If I could move my legs to do a happy dance I would.

Way to go. You probably wouldn't sweat as much if you weren't carrying so much water, tee,hee..

I dare say the pleasure and pride that we all share for your accomplishment overpowers any need for humility or modesty. I say WAY TO GO, GIRL!! Run on.

Hi Karla, I found you via Just Another Day. I read your story, and I just wanted to extend my sympathies to you. I'm so sorry about Ava, she was beautiful.

But congratulations on the 10 minute mile!

Great job! I was training for a half marathon last year and was doing great until the purchase of our house got in the way...needless to say I fell off that wagon. Keep your head up and stay strong. And good luck too!

I am doing a happy dance for you.
