i graduated hs about 4 yrs ago and the last time i ran a fairly fast 1 mile was a 1.5 mile run that i finished in about 9 minutes in grade 12.
since then ive been slacking off and at times gone a year plus without running a full mile. about 3.5 weeks ago i started up again and at first i had trouble finishing 1.5 miles. now 3 weeks later, i managed to finish 4 miles and today just to see whether i could, i went all out and after nearly puking, checked my watch at the end and was surprised to see that i had broken the 6 minute mile at 5;50. i am so happy since i haven't had this kind of stamina since high school (through sports like soccer /field hockey) and really gave me a motivation to aim for 4 miles in under 28 minutes. i guess the stamina was always there, and it just laid dormant after high school just waiting to be trained again.
after the run, i was mischievously grinning like an evil rapist and it felt great because if people saw my shit eating grin, they'd wonder what was so funny, but only i knew, and i felt ecstatic. just wanted to share. feel free to flame me :icon_chee
