NSV I Jogged 2 Miles!

rblauvelt7, way to go.

I will warn you, though, be careful of pushing too far too soon. Your muscles, joints, bones, and everything else need time to adjust to the added distances. Definitely ride the wave when you get an adrenaline rush once in a while, but make sure you're taking your rest days and giving your body time to improve.

I jumped from 2.5 miles to 3.1 miles because I was feeling great and wanted to do the 5K distance for the first time, but then I was sore and in a little pain for a few days, so I had to back off and build back up to it a bit.

Yeah, I know what you mean, but I ran in high school so I have a general feel for what my body can handle. I woke up this morning and I'm not sore at all and my knee feels better than it has after a run in a long time.

Congrats that is awesome!

I started the C25K in January and just "graduated". I ran 45 minutes last week. Then last night I did the Shred and immediately went out for a run. Let's just say I made it 12 minutes and my goldendoodle had to drag my broken self home....

It's already been said, but I'll say it too. Time to find your first 5k and fill out an entry form! They say the difference between a jogger and a runner is an entry form.

Oh, and look for a 10k around mid- to late-summer. You'll be ready by then. Great work!
