Running

Well, I think I may have figured out how to get around my hatred of running.  I just need to run faster!  When I had the shin splints, I always ran a 10 minute mile because I was scared of injuring myself.  This week, I did a WOD that was 400m run/5 deadlifts - 12 minute AMRAP.  I ran at a 7.5 minute mile pace and it was pretty hard for me since I don't run much.  Maybe runners wouldn't consider that fast but I did given my history of running at a 10 minute mile.  I felt so much better just to hammer it out and drive hard. Now that I did it, it makes perfect sense to me that I would like that better.  I love intensity!  I'll have to get back on the treadmill and see how fast I can really go sometime.
