SUCCESS!
I finished my first 5k last night. I wasn't going to run since it was slightly drizzling but just like a quote I came across somewhere, there will never be perfect weather. Thankfully I did run because it's raining tonight! I didn't start running to join any competition but it was more than what I've ever ran in my life. I started using one of the c25k running programmes and just listened to the music and sessions that people made. It took me longer than the suggested 9 weeks to finish this 5k training since I had surgeries and traveling and such. I realized that the hardest part about 5k for me is that running itself gets so boring if you're running along a track. My mind started drifting and I wasn't concentrating by the end of it. Haha. How can people run marathons!? Yay to one accomplishment this year!
CONGRATS!! I got to week 7 back in spring 2011 before a friend visited me for a few days, throwing my sked off and I never recovered. The weather's been improving and after talking to my housemate from undergrad and hearing that she was jogging, I hauled my lazy behind out the door... and it felt amazing. That was Sunday. Then I jogged again on Monday and Wednesday. I feel like a god :D
