Tuesday I did week 9, run 1 - my first 30 minutes of continuous running. Tuesday also happened to be an early snowstorm, so I was faced with running... in the snow. In retrospect, perhaps I should have put the run off to the next day when sidewalks would be cleared, but in the end, I actually think the snow helped in an odd way.
While running in a couple of inches of snow was challenging, it sort of distracted me from the length of the run. I was more worried about finding a route with the least amount of snow, and with being careful of ice and slippery conditions. Before I knew it, the podcast was telling me I only had 5 minutes left!
I'll be doing run 2 tomorrow (we had more snow this morning, and I'm going to wait this time), but I already feel so accomplished. The end of the program is in sight! It feels like just yesterday I was starting out, and would have struggled to run even 5 minutes. So happy!
