Another first for me today. I was able to jog/run two laps around the Cheesman Park outside running trail without walking. If someone told me a month ago that I would be able to run 2.88 miles, I would have told them they were crazy. It did take me 31 minutes, but it got done. Going up the hill the second time wasn’t easy. I did notice that my legs were not mushy, and I wasn’t gasping for breath. As long as I remember to breath like a runner I should be okay.
This week I begin week 5 of the 8 week program I have been following to become a runner. The run intervals are becoming longer, and the walk intervals are becoming shorter.
Once a week though, I intend to push it to see how far I can go. Will start working on speed, too.
