Since Friday, I have posted 2 personal bests in fitness. On Friday in our beep test, I ran a 13.9 for the first time. My next closest beep had been 13.4 which I had done once this year and before that it was when I was teaching the first year of Super Fit in the fall of 2010. I have run a ton of beep tests since then, so I'm sure some of the improvement is due to more efficient technique. I had also taken the day before off of running entirely, so my legs felt great. It feels good to see improvements, because I know that at some point, I won't be able to do as well as I used to. It won't be for lack of effort or training - fitness is very important to me - but because I am 37 and the time will come when I will run into physical constraints that will be limiting. Oh, life.
My second personal best came at the Sun Run on Sunday. I have been putting in lots of kilometers of running & training, not necessarily for the Sun Run, but just because I like doing it. The process of training itself makes me feel happy. My chip time for the 10 k was 44:55. Two years ago my Sun Run time was 49 min, so I am pretty stoked about that improvement.
