I Ran the WHOLE 5K!

Yippee! Yahoo!!

I went to the gym this morning fully expecting to have a difficult time running 25 minutes.
  • I walked for 5 minutes,
  • ran for 20 minutes and thought "Yippee! Only 5 minutes left!",
  • asked myself why I wanted to stop,
  • decided that I felt good enough to run 28 minutes,
  • thought to myself, "I am not hurting so I will just see how far I can go" and
  • ended up running for 40 minutes (when the treadmill automatically slowed down for the cool down),
  • and walked for the 5 minute cool down!
I ran for 40 minutes and it did not kill me!!! I went for almost 4 miles. Woo hoo!

I CAN do this thing!
