No. Freakin’. Way.

September 18th, 2008 by Shane Kenny | Filed under Running, Work.

OK, so I stole that title from the last series at my church but it applied twice in the last 14 hours so I thought a little plagiarism was in order:

  1. The same 2 mile run that I ran on Tuesday night in 18:54 on Tuesday night I ran in 17:47 last night. That is a 8:49 mile and the best mile average I have ever run. Not sure if the cool nights are helping or if I have experienced one of those mystical breakthroughs that all the running books and articles talk about.
  2. I just saw something from our R&D guys that has me so excited I can’t sit still. I can’t say anything at all about it other than that it is very cool and that I can’t wait for the world to experience it. Stay tuned!

What “No Freakin’ Way” moments have you experienced lately?

    i’ve been running 5ks (although it is on the treadmill) at just under 22 mins..

    WOW! That’s a great time. My goal is to get to a sub 25:00 5k. That means I have about 2:30 that I need to shave off my best 5k time so far. There is a 5k planned at my subdivision on Oct 25 if you’re interested in participating.

    my duathlon is the week before - so that weekend will prob work
    there’s a slight chance i’ll be out of town - but not likely.. let me know

    my goal with this duathlon (since i have to do back to back 5ks) is to do a sub 22 min 5k, take a break while my buddy does the 30k bike ride, then crank out another sub 22 min 5k

    yesterday in the gym i did one 5k at the target time, then did 2.12 miles at that pace (pulled up a mile short - out of gas)

    going to give it another shot on sat - then start training outdoors for hills now that the weather is cooperating
