I've been getting back into an exercise routine this holiday season. I begin by jogging for a mile. I'm interested in seeing how fast I can cover the distance. I still remember the dismal running times I had in elementary school. I was a slower kid who watched the athletic kids finish a mile in seven minutes while I finally arrive in double the time. Earlier this week, I clocked in with a 10:10 time in jogging a mile. Today, I impressed myself with a 9:10 time. I never thought I'd cover a mile with a single-digit time!
I don't think I've gotten considerably faster in under a week. Rather, I now have a slightly better idea of my physical limits and I started to push them a little. Also, I think it has a lot to do with increased confidence, too.
So, I'm grateful for significant improvement in running a mile. This gives me encouragement to continue my workout efforts.
