My First 5 Miler

Dec 20, 2008

Today I ran my first 5 miler without stopping to walk, not even once.  I almost can't believe it but I did it.  It feels so good to be able to run.  The park I ran at has a one mile loop and I kept meeting the same people sometime twice in a mile, they were walking and I was the one running, it's usually the other way around.  I finished the 5 miles in 58 minutes.  I have to keep building my distance in preparation for my first half marathon on Valentines Day.  I am really loving this, it's challenging but so rewarding when I complete a run.  I have a hectic week coming up with Xmas so I'm not sure when I'm going to schedule my next long run, maybe Friday morning will be good.  I am aiming for 7 miles next long run.
