I ran the full 5K this morning on the treadmill!
I jumped into the C25K program in week four. Saturday I ran the dreaded 20 minutes and had to slow down half way through. I decided at that point that running at a slower speed really wasn't that bad and I wondered if I could run a 5K.
So today...I tried.
After a full 30 minute run (all that is required of the program after all), I walked for three minutes. Then I was back at it and I completed the full 5K with just that three minute walk toward the end.
It took me about 44 minutes, but I ran the full 5K!
And you know what? There was no confetti.
I was counting down the last km's to my friend beside me. At .01 I said, "Watch my screen! Watch my screen!" And do you know what it said? "Cool down." LOL! I was expecting "You did it!" or "finished", or, gosh darn it, confetti!!
