Meadows 2 Mile

Todays race was the Sri Chinmoy Meadows 2 mile race.  This was day 48.  The last time I ran this race was day 20.  At 3.22 miles it meets the minimum requirements for the challenge, although this time I ran 2.05km to get there and then 2.43km back.  So all in all today I ran over 7.5km although I am only counting the 2 mile race.  Make sense?  :-D

Ran a PB.  The PBs are coming thick and fast and I love it.  On day 20 I ran this race in 13:35.  Today I ran it in 13:20 and to be honest I could have done better.  The last time I was chasing someone down in the last stretch, this time I was taking it kind of easy.  Well not "easy", but I could have ran faster.

It's good progress.  My fitness is improving (my stamina especially),  my weight is dropping, and most importantly I have ran 48 days in a row which is a mental challenge of my will power more than anything.  It's becoming a habit, just something that I do.  I couldn't have imagined this a week into the challenge where I couldn't imagine a time when my legs wouldn't hurt!

I'll post official results and stuff to this when they are available.

UPDATE:  Here are the results and a picture from the official site
