Day 17 - Progress

Today I ran 3km.

Not 100% sure of the distance but at least it was 3km.
I ran a new route and will need to check the proper distance. It took 21 mins 13 seconds and it felt GOOD!

Was not thinking too much about a run, just a little disappointed that the weather was rainy and forecast heavy showers. the evening was beautiful and warm and after the teenagers class in Koplik I was out for a run.

I had measured a new mile run that crosses my old run...this gave me the option of running the new mile or a further longer run, taking in the last part of my original route.
I must admit, I was determined to run further than a mile and I just felt good the whole run.
I am so pleased with myself. As I completed part one I had actually run 11 minutes. Slightly slower pace, but some lanes were pitch black and i was running on unknown roads. i was scared of the many open manholes!

As I got to what must have been a mile I felt so good and I continued. No real pain, no difficulty in breathing, no desire for a drink.
I extended the home run a little to try to make it nearer 2 miles...but am unsure at the exact mileage.

Absolutely delighted with myself and my t-shirt was soaking with sweat!

Running is fun!
