Week 5 day 3…(drumroll, please)…DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, I ran for 20 minutes STRAIGHT! Throughout the day the thought would hit me: I have to run for 20 minutes today. It was weird because I looked forward to it, but at the same time I was afraid of failure.
I went home after work and laid down. After about 20 minutes, I popped up, got dressed, and left. I had to see if I could do it.
I went to a different park today. I drove it before I got out to run, although it wasn’t until later that I realized that the driving path doesn’t clue you in to where the walking path goes. I walked for five minutes. Those were the fastest five minutes of my life! Before I knew it, it was time to run. I ran. S-l-o-w-l-y. At 13 minutes I was ready to call it a day, but not finishing was not an option. And so I ran. The last few minutes went by quickly.
I feel as if I’m ready for the 25-minute run next week (possibly Sunday).
I am SO proud of myself!
