Did a 7 mile run today and without even really thinking about it, I ran my first sub 10 min mile ever!  9:48.  Which really blew me away.  My previous best was about 10:12 or so.

It came at mile 2, then I realized at Mile 3 I ran at 10:02.  so almost 2 sub 10 min miles back to back.

I paid for it on the back end of the run, especially the last mile, but still posted my best 7 mile run time by more than a minute and 20 seconds. 1:13:11 was the time.

Awesome!!!
I am running a 7mi on Sunday and just want to survive. Someday I hope to be at a 10min/mile.

Great time for the whole race.

10 minutes seems to be the magic number.  Congrats!  I can't wait to hear about your first 9 minute mile.
