Finished W5D3 couch2k5

Sobus76

So today was the day of the infamous week 5 day 3 of the 9 week couch25k program i'm doing using the rundouble app set to distance not timed, for those that dont know, it's a 2 mile run non-stop, yes 2 miles... i've been dreading it for a while like everyone else thats not a runner and does this program, but I FINISHED the 2 mile run today without stopping/taking a break!! and did it running half of it INTO a 25 mph wind! No i didnt set any speed records (2 miles in 24:45 mins 4.9mph pace) but for my size (6'1" 273lbs) running 2 miles non-stop is an amazing feeling and an accomplishment i've never done in my 37yrs on this planet, not even when i thought i ran a lot in highschool football, which by the way as of today i'm down to my highschool football sophmore weight.
Cant wait to finish these next 4 weeks and do the full 5K!
