Well, today I was finally well enough, and able to make it to the track for a run. What was even better was that I was child free!! So, iPod set to go, off I went. What a run! I really wonder what has been holding me back lately?? Has it been that I thought I couldn't do it? That it would be too hard, so why bother? Whatever the reason, it is no longer valid! I ran for...
20 minutes
No breaks (other than quick sips of water every 3-4 laps), for a total of 15 laps, which equals 3.3km! I have not done that well ever, still can't believe I did that! I might have been able to go for a bit longer, but was getting some cramps, and felt I done well enough for one day. The longest run, without breaks, that I have ever done is only 8 minutes. I ran 12 minutes longer than I have before.
I have just signed up to run 5km in the Footstock race held here in town on the 13th of June. I am so excited, and looking forward to completing this event... my first ever race! This gives me just under 3 months to prepare, and if today is any indication, I will be running 5km straight in a month. I will then have 2 months to work on my pace.
WOOOHOOO Girl Great job !!! who would have thought i would have ever been a runner :)
