after I ran...
(are you ready?)
...30 MINUTES STRAIGHT!!!!
It's true! I started out determined to run 10 minutes, more if I could. But I was going to do week 6 day 2 (run 10 / walk 3 / run 10) and hoped beyond hope in the back of my mind that I could make it to 21.5 minutes, which was my previous record. I got to 10 minutes, then 13, then 15, and I pushed myself to 20. At that point I just kept going and went for another 10 minutes, finding myself at 30 minutes, running 2.5 miles in that time. WOW! I need to step up the speed a little bit to make it to 3 miles in that time, but I'm pretty darn happy with the run tonight!!
I hope I can run outside on Thursday. I could use the outside practice and I need to work on regulating my speed so I can go further and for longer. I'm taking tomorrow off from running, but hope to get in a walk, at least, and hopefully some DDR.
As a sidenote, my run tonight burned 450 calories. Woohoo!

Congrats on the 30 minute run and on the web cam.
This is me procrastinating to the computer when I should be stepping, but now feeling motivated by your accomplishment, so this is my last blog comment until it's done!
And this is me having completed the step aerobics and sweating like a pig! Luck you, I don't have a web cam, so you don't have to see the red blotches on my sweaty face and the hair all looking very stringy and the huffing and puffing I'm still doing as I try to guzzle some water for refreshment!
Now, hopefully I'll go for a run/walk with Andy and Jansse later today and get below 40 pounds to go by tomorrow!
