On top of the world - at least for a moment...

Today I actually saw my fastest mile split since before LG was born! Now I have a hard time writing my time down and talking about it because I feel like people think "oh, that's it?" But for me - I felt awesome! We did the relay run today and the first mile was a WU - I felt pretty good - then the first mile I ran was 7:45 - which was a bit surprising, I have seen this split a time or two... but it was the second mile that got me - 7:33! I haven't seen this kind of split on my watch in a long, long time!

It's amazing how long it takes to get back into everything after having a baby. I worked out almost the entire pregnancy, then I started training shortly after the birth of my son. In fact, I did my first marathon 9 months after having him.... so it's not like I've been sitting around on my ass.... so it's just taken a long time to get the speed going again. Not that I've ever had that much speed, but to see anything under 8:00 is great for me.
