0630--- I had a great magic moment today. It showed up before most people are making their first cup of coffee too. I had finished up my LBWO and found that I had an extra 30 minutes. I decided to get on the treadmill and run a mile before packing it in. I first made it 8.5 minutes @ level 5.0 without slowing to a walk. I made it to the 1.1 mile mark and was walking again, and I still felt good so I wanted to get to the mile and a half mark. I was at the 15:00 minute mark at that time. I stepped it up to 6.0 and started to make good time. I then had a thought that I could beat my recent best of 19:01. I was in range if I stepped it up another notch. Just at that time the song from Rocky (Hearts on Fire) came on the MP3. I kicked it up to 7.0 and beat the best 18:53 for 1.53 miles.
This was a small accomplishment number wise, but a much larger accomplishment mentally. I had an initial plan, adjusted it and dug deep down to achieve it. I have set the bar a little higher now, and that is the only way that you will bring out your best.
