Running update

I can now run for 30 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been following the run/walk program for the past 7 weeks, and have been really enjoying it. Each week, the intervals I had to run for got longer, and at the start of the week I'd think I wouldn't be able to do it - but I have, and now I can run for a whole half an hour without stopping. I'm covering almost 4 kilometres, so my next goal is to increase my pace so that I can cover 5K, and then I can enter a race.

I can see how running can become addictive - I really love it now. Although I feel apprehensive before each run, I feel so good afterwards when I've completed it, there is such a sense of achievement. I've also loved being out in the fresh air, and a lot of the time I've been running in the snow, which has been fun. It also feels good to be doing something just for me, and it's a great destresser at the end of a busy day with the kids.
