So I took my run outside for the first time since it's a BEAUTIFUL day out (and I'm tired of the treadmill!), and in my 20 minutes I apparently did 1.28. PLUS I think I have started to figure out a good pace on the pavement! Huzzah! Granted, thirty seconds in I'm still huffing and puffing and wanna stop, but I think I'm getting it figured out! :-) For someone who would get on the treadmill sporadically then quit, I'm happy :-). Also, as far as pacing goes, I think it's actually easier outdoors - no distracting buttons and options and trying to figure out exactly how fast I am, or pushing myself to certain mechanical speeds. Outdoors I can just GO! :-)

    Great job! I love running outdoors. It is nice to have a change of pace and not just run in one spot for 30 minutes. Keep it up and the huffing and puffing will slowly go away. I've been there, done that.. :tongue: Keep up the great attitude!

    Awesome job :)
    I don't think I could run inside anymore. There is nothing better than having the street to yourself early in the morning.

    Keep it up! Before you know it, you'll be posting what a breeze Week 9 was ;)
