I did it! On the treadmill admittedly, which is definitely easier than the real world... but still I did it! I had a big grin on my face when the cool down walk started. I ran 5 whole minutes - twice! I know it isn't all that long in the scheme of things but a mere month ago I doubted my ability to keep running for 1 minute.
I found tonight's run really comfortable, body seemed to be working smoothly, breathing stayed under control and I was even able to concentrate on my posture and make sure I ran tall.
Brilliantly done! To be able to do it and feel in control and comfortable is really good. Running for five times as long as you could a month ago sounds pretty significant to me! Don't knock it!
Not only have you run for 5 minutes twice, you've run for 16 minutes! Well done - it's a great feeling to beat the doubts and realise just how far you've come in a few short weeks
