Today, I went to the gym with every intention of doing my regular Monday routine..
Run a mile - Walk 5 minutes - Run a mile - Walk 5 minutes - Run a mile - Cooldown.
After the first mile I was feeling great so decided to push myself to 1.5 miles. That didn't exactly kill me so I figured I'd go the extra 1/2 mile for 2. That didn't exactly kill me either, and I wanted to run about 3 miles total anyway, so I pushed on for 1 more (I mean, why not at least try?). Well, I ended up running 3.1 miles (a whole 5k) non-stop..and I did it in just over 37 minutes! I was smiling as I completed the 5 minute cooldown..like goofy smiling lol. I've tried to do it before, but always found myself having to walk for a few minutes or so..or at least having to take multiple 30 second water breaks..but I did it this time and never felt happier :bigsmile:

    I know the feeling...I just completed my first triathlon which consisted of a 5k jog, 12 mile bike and 200 meter swim (my time was 1:50 mins) which at my age (55) was a serious challenge. Before doing this I had never jogged more than a quarter mile without walking in between.

    Now I jog and bike 3 times a week! Keep it up you'll get EXCELLENT RESULTS from it!!!
