what it's not

i hear people talk about all the extra energy they have when they work out, how it makes them feel better, etc. working out has done NONE of those things for me. but i know it’s something i NEED to do, so i do it. i think in the long run the benefits will pay for themselves, but right now it’s just a big pain to do. i’m a year and a half into it, so hopefully it’s a habit i’ll keep.

so...

i did it. not the 7 minute mile: 2 minutes on 8.5 mph. actually it was longer than 2 minutes and i trimmed 10 seconds off my 8 minute mile. i can now say i ran a mile in less than 8 minutes. now if i can do it again….
