Success

I know it's Sunday, but I really needed to post this!
On Friday, my 3rd run of the week was to run 2.25 miles (or 25 minutes). At this point in the training program you can choose to run for distance or for time. Now, because I only run at a 4.5/4.6 mph pace, it takes me a lot longer than 25 minutes to run 2.25 miles. So I decided to run for distance, because honestly that's what most important when training for the 5K. If I can't run the distance for the race, I'm screwed lol.

First of all, my iPod was dead and couldn't find the charger :( So I was forced to bring my headphones and listen to the The View while I ran...boring! I got on, and wanted to quit around 10 minutes in...usually that's the hardest for me. But I kept going!!

I shocked myself. I was able to run 2.25 miles! It's funny because the longest I'd run before then without walking was 1.5 miles-ish. So I really surpassed that! It may seem like a small victory, but I'm VERY ecstatic about it! I haven't been able to run that long since before my wedding...and even then, I could only jog at 4 mph...I'm going faster that I did before! Now I'm done with week 6 of 5K training and on to week 7...3 weeks left!! Here's what week 7 entails:

3 Runs all the same
Run 2.5 miles (or 25 minutes)

I will be running the distance obviously. Unlike previous weeks, this is the first week with NO walking whatsoever (besides the warm-up and cool down).
I'm looking forward to this upcoming week. I don't think the weigh-in on Tuesday will be a big one...since I had a big week last week, but the week after should be awesome because I'll have done 3 solid runs!
