I know I've said it before, but I have no absolutely idea how far I can go! Looking back on the fitness journey, at least when discussing weight-loss ... and probably fitness.... all sources say you should have a definitive goal to work towards... Well, now I'm doing things I never thought possible and have absolutely no idea what my next goal should be...
Maybe a 10K... I did the distance today (with the 5K run followed by the 5K walk) and outside of my back being a little stiff, and being generally tired, I feel very, very good... no soreness in the legs ~ so we'll see how I feel tomorrow.
Maybe just work on endurance and speed.... so that 9:12 feels comfortable and not pushing it to the extreme.
I really, truly don't know what I want ... and right now... I think that's okay. I do know that I'm feeling a bit stifled by all these new runners who have watched my journey and started their own and want me to run with them. They are where I was a year ago; and running with them is fun; and I want new running buddies.... but I'm faster than some and sometimes I just want to push it; but other times I just want it to be a comfortable run... and I think that's all okay too!
I'm thinking that winging it for a bit... being comfortable... or pushing it ... as the mood suits is not a bad thing ~ at least for right now.
