20 minutes without stopping

I was a tad nervous about today’s run. My last one was 8 minutes of running, 5 minutes of walking, and another 8 minutes of running. So today I just had to run during that middle part.

My body felt old and achy for the first three minutes. I wonder if that ever goes away. After that I kind of found my groove, but I admit, it was a VERY slow groove. I did the whole 20 minutes though & I wasn’t miserable in the least. By the end several places were not feeling awesome, particularly my side, the metatarsals in my right foot, and the ligaments that connect my femur to my pelvis. But here it is the end of the day and most of that has dissipated.

I’m very psyched about being able to run the entire 20 minutes. It’s hard to believe that a week ago I had never run more than 5.

I’m supposed to go back to running and walking intervals for my next two workouts. I will probably follow the plan, but I may skip ahead to running 25 minutes.
