I would have liked to have stayed on the treadmill longer, but got to the gym only 40 minutes before it closed. I need to make myself get there earlier on a regular basis.

I did C25K outside today rather than on the treadmill at the gym. As it turns out, the middle school nearby does not have an outdoor track, but does have a relatively flat path that runs around the baseball and football fields in a ~1/3 mile loop. So that's where I walked/ran, and it went pretty well. Definitely harder on my lungs running outside because my pace is faster, but easier on my legs than running on the treadmill where my gait feels unnatural. All in all, I'm happy with how it went. I'd like to be able to make it to the school during daylight hours once per week to do C25K there... we'll see how often I can make that happen.
