Jingle Bell PR!!!

Really?  Santa Bells and Sleigh Rides... not where you expect to PR.  For the first time in my life I ran sub-9 min/miles the entire time (I have never done more than 1 sub-9).  Wow, huge PR. 

Previous PR:
28:26 (avg pace - 9:10)

New PR:
26:54 (avg pace - 8:41)

Unbelievable.  Borderline puke-feeling the whole entire time.  I really really pushed and had nothing left.  Full report coming soon, but sorry folks, this is my blog, and I just needed to toot my own horn for just a minute.  Happy feelings!!!

That's awesome! It's wonderful when everything comes together for a PR - doing it amongst jingle bells makes it even more cheery. =)

Oh and PS- about the rest interval... I walk/jog slow like 12 min pace. My normal pace is prob 9:15ish....
