A breakthrough

This weekend I was determined to run outside I haven't done this more than a handful of times but I live right behind a college track field and a quarter of a mile away or less is the gate.  I tried to jog to the gate and barely made it as it is all hills around my house.  The field was still covered in some snow and water from it melting but I thought what better way to measure than 4 times around is one mile. So I started not sure exactly what pace I was running at. At 1.5 miles I always get a block and this time was no different I took it one lap at a time and next thing I know I'm at 11 excited to finish My run I realized I wasn't tired at all so I thought what's one more mile?  So then I was on lap 15 and again I thought what one more mile then I was on 19 and thought might as well do a 10k!  Well at 22 laps I got kicked off the field because they had soccer practice but I mapped out the route to and from the field and it was a 10k afterall!  Woot! And I felt incredible!
