I'm not exactly sure what's going on here, but I like it. I'm running. Faster. It's a strange (yet, cool) feeling when things start to click.
Ok, I am in no way setting any land speed records, but for me this is uncharted territory; mmm...maybe not uncharted, but I haven't been at this point of "AHA!!" in a long time. I remember a time when running a 10:00 min/mi was a milestone...then a 9:00 min/mi and I was happy with that...then I wanted an 8:00 min/mi
and now I'm gunning for 7:00's
I can't help but think of Carrie's recent post basically wondering when is it good enough? It brings the same kind of questions to my mind. When will we be satisfied with our successes? Will we ever be? It truly is the good and bad of this sport. It sucks you in with the small successes and makes you want more. It is what keeps pushing us to greater achievements both in and out of sport.
I like it.
I love it.
I want some more of it!

You are working hard. Now you get to reap the benefits. I am cheering you on to your dream of Kona. I am still dreaming of that 8 minute mile without getting shin splints. :)
Way to kick some ass, Michelle. It's amazing how these things will come about after a few years of consistent training? Keep it up.
