25 minutes

Phil & I went running this morning. For me it was the start of week 7 in the Couch to 5k program. I ran for 25 minutes (jogged is probably more accurate) and it. was. hard. I spent most of the run wondering just why it was that I’d picked running for my sport. I’ve never been a good runner. Why did I think anything had changed?

I was and still am a little dismayed at how difficult it was, this jump from 20 to 25 minutes. And when it was over I was ready to collapse into a gelatinous blob on the floor. But it didn’t take long before I was feeling refreshed & energetic, and trying to remember why I’d been so miserable running.
