Week 8, Day 1... Happy surprise

So I did my week 8 Day 1 last night on my trusty treadmill. After my 28 minutes, I realized, I could keep going. So not only did I make it to 30 minutes, I upped my speed.  At the 30 minute mark I realized, I could keep going! But I didn't. I have my first 5K on Sunday, and my confidence is soaring!  However if I'm going to push myself, I'd rather save it for Sunday. So at 30 minutes I began my cool down and I felt great!  So proud of myself. I'll run again tomorrow.. and see if I can maintain my 30 minutes. Only a few more runs with the app, and one completed 5K under my belt as of the coming weekend, I'll finally be able to request my Graduate badge!  So Happy!

Hi Potterbook, I'm right there alongside you doing week 8. We will graduate at the same time. It's amazing isn't it! I don't have the guts to go for 5k yet, but it's great that you do and I'm sure I'll get there eventually. Let's hear how it goes.
