Failure for a real runner..for ME..VICTORY!

Well, i woke up after a 30 min long snoozefest to go and run. Today, though, i was doing something different. Last night i went to family dollar and bought a cheap am/fm radio with headsets. I was not going to be left up to my own devices. Nope. Nope. So...off i went to the park.

On the way in, 3 cars. Woot. No runners remorse for me...or at least not yet... lol... so i plug in my headset, listen to kiss and set my garmin goal for 4 miles in 1 hour. That would mean a continuous 15 min mile pace. Not too shabby i thought...

So i did the unthinkable...i ran slow...really really really slow. So slow in fact that not only could i carry on a conversation, but i could SING...and i did! It was an awesome run. I was so wrapped up in the music that i ran the entire first mile without bothering with my run/walk ratio. I kept running and finally walked...and i also walked really really really slow. So slow, in fact that my garmin said i was walking an 18:32 pace LOL. too slow...oh well... its my long run, i can take it easy....

Well then that runner remorse kicked in....CRAP..my shoes are about a half size too small. My toes feel scrunched and i don't like it. I need to get new shoes. So i will have to put in for my mileage check to i can get fitted again. CRAP!

Oh well...Lady Gaga gets me back in gear. Oh man telephone comes on, boy do i love that song. I ran and ran...Beyonces part comes on and i go wild...next thing you know i'm running a little too fast, can't really sing my favorite part so i get slower and slower.

Well.... before i know it, i look down and only have a quarter mile left. Damn. I missed when the garmin went off after the hour? or had I?

I had LOL.

4 miles: 1:08:57.... might be a failure for a real runner but for me...it was VICTORY!!!!
