I went out for a 2-miler today and I thought I'd test my limits. I ran a 9:40 mile two days ago, so I wanted to see what this body of mine could handle.
So I warmed up for .2 seconds and turned on the gas. And I made the first half mile at a 9:15 pace. And Oh My Stars. I was pretty sure I was going to die. For two reasons.
1) Pride. Dude! I'm going fast for being a "gimpy girl". Or a former "gimpy girl". Whatever. Potato, Potahhhto.
2) Cardiac Arrest. After the first half mile, my heart was racing and my lungs were burning. You can imagine my surprise when my heart actually leapt out of my chest and flopped around on the pavement as I fell over and died.
Ok, so I didn't actually die. But I thought I might. Lung capacity? I miss you.
The second half mile was at a 9:45 pace, so it ended up being 9:29 for the first mile. Mile two was a solid 9:55.
And I had this song stuck in my head for the entire run. It's quite catchy.

awesome video! and while i can go to the beach in a bikini, you couldn't pay me enough to strut around in those outfits for a music video. those chicks, they gots some cajones!
That .2 second warm up was awesome! The first mile also know as near death experience was faster than last time. And the second mile was still fast (I probably would of been walking!). Well done.
I love that song, the whole album is great.
