running outside vs. elliptical NSV

so i am starting Week 6 tomorrow of the C25K. i run at the gym. they take good care of my kid so i can watch my time and pace without having to worry about my son. in these past five weeks ive only run on the treadmill. last week i signed up for my first 5K ever. my husband finally had a day off today and so i took advantage of it and did a run outside since im semi-freaking about running the race. it was tough but i did the same 2 miles that i do on the treadmill at the same exact time -- albeit slow (i run about a 12 min mile) but i was excited that while it was an *kitten* kicker, i was able to do it. now i just need to take more outside runs as this race is only in two weeks ... eek.

anyways, i just wanted to brag since all i do is self-sabatoge in my own head constantly. thanks for listening.
