Did my first outdoor 3 mile run

After completing the C25K program on the treadmill I moved outdoors and ran 3 miles in just under 30 minutes. It took me a while to adjust to outdoors with hard pavement instead of a cushioned treadmill, setting my own pace instead of setting it on the treadmill, and the treadmill not there to move under my feet. Plus sunshine, a breeze and other people out running and walking that were not in my basement.

    This is awesome and what a coincidence. I did my first 3 mile run outdoors today also. Except mine took me almost 37 minutes cause I run at a snail pace. Great job! Keep up the great work!
