Default I just ran a MILE!


This morning I got up at 5:30, warmed up and decided to start jogging and promised myself that I wouldn't stop until I absolutely needed to.

Well, it ended up being a MILE! For me, this is HUGE!! I'm on week 3 of C5k and have been training for 3.5 weeks. And I did a MILE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The icing on the cake: tonight I did my regular three miles and shaved off 3 more minutes. When I first started doing 3 miles every night, it took me an hour and 15 minutes. Tonight it took 54 minutes.
