Best Run Yet

I took 2 days off of running to help repair the blister on my heels and I'm super glad I did.  I didn't have the heel pain that I've had since the 2nd day I started running again.  This has got to be the best run so far.  I feel extremely energized and this is the furthest I've run thus far.  This run was also the best time as of yet and hearing the little voice in the Nike+ app tell me the first mile was done in less time was an amazing feeling.  It is little steps like this that is going to keep me doing this.  I also did this run on an empty stomach and it seemed like that made a big difference as well.

Lessons Learned:

  • Try and always run on an empty stomach
  • Stretch before going on a run
  • Look up more stretches to help with shin splints
Stats:

Total Distance: 2.14 miles
Total Time:  40:23
Mile Time average time:  18:52
Calories Burned: 275
1k: 9:08* having issues getting the Nike+ app to since this is what I remember popping up after the run.  I will correct when I get it to sync and give me that time

**Update Edit**

Apparently the first mile, I did on 7/5/13 was clocked at 16:11 which I am totally thrilled with!  The first time I used this app which is the end of the first week I started walking/running again (6/27), my mile was done in 20:42.  Granted, I haven't done a mile that good since although that day my second part of the mile was just over 19 minutes.  My mile yesterday was 17:01 which is pretty close.
