Best 12 min run benchmark since 2022!

So tonight I felt kinda tired. But I had signed up for an Orangetheory class and today was the 12 min treadmill benchmark. I am happy to say that I got 1.39 miles in 12 min which isn’t too shabby AND it was in fact my fastest 12 min tread benchmark since July 2022. I’m pleased with that because in 2022 I was at my fastest.

The reason I was fast in 2022 wasn’t great - my compulsive hoarder mom died right at that beginning of tax season in 2021. Epic timing for an accountant. I am also an only child and the cleanup was the stuff of nightmares. The worst you’ve seen on the show hoarders - yep. It both broke my heart and made me mad. It took us until August. I was ANGRY that I had to go through that. The angry was put into the gym. I got fast in 2021 and that carried into 2022. So to come close to that without hate in my heart everyday is amazing! I have Project 300 to thank for that. The runs absolutely kicked my ass when Project 300 started. But intervals eventually got longer, then I didn’t need intervals…I could hold the run, then I got faster and faster as the months passed. I will never stop being grateful for you all and Pod 8 for pushing me!
