Day 12 - Run Like a Tortoise
MY JOURNEY
3/29/20251 min read
It feels so slow...
I think as I run through the park. The smell of saltwater ever present as the wind blows it towards my nostrils.
I'm currently running at a 12 minute pace, barely faster than a walk.
In fact, I am plodding past seniors that have come to walk in the cool air this evening.
They look as I pass. Unsure if I am starting out slow or this is my real pace.
I make it around 20 minutes today before my first walk has to take place to stay in Zone 2.
Progress.
I continue on, reaching one of our bridges that connect the mainland to one of the keys.
"Why not?" I think as I begin my trek upward.
My heart rate stays lower for longer than I think. Only a coupele stops along the way to the peak.
The way down makes me feel invincible.
Maybe I can get on board with this running thing...
