Holy Crap!

I just completed Week 5 of Couch 2 5K! Why is that so exciting?

Because the last session of Week 5 wanted me to run 20 minutes straight.

AND I DID IT JUST NOW !!!!!

(Albeit with a 20 second pause to retie a shoelace, but then I got back up and kept going!)

20 minutes.. my shins are killing me, but wow. I am so proud, and about ready to pass out, haha. Woohoo! I threw my jacket on the treadmill clock, turned my Ipod volume to MAX and just kept going. My shins hurt after roughly 5 minutes of jogging, they turned to lead weights at 10 minutes, and I just kept going. After as long as I could stand, I threw off the jacket and saw that I had been running for 17 minutes - surely I could go another 3? And I did!

Jase is bringing a bottle of wine and some Subway for dinner so we can celebrate. I love that boy so much, he's bloody wonderful. I'm going to miss him SO much when he leaves. =(

Food:/
2 x toast w/ low fat marg and jam
2 x bread w/ banana
1 cup boiled rice
Chicken & Capsicum Stirfry
Chicken Teriyaki Subway dinner.

Exercise:/
5 minute walk (warm up)
20 minute jog (not including a 20 second pause!)
5 minute walk (cool down)

Yay, you!!

That´s great!! 20 minutes of running at once - wow!! I´m very impressed!! Keep up the good work, sweetie!!

Jase is leaving?? Huh?? What?? WHy that? But you sure are right, he sounds like a real sweetheart. Have a wonderful evening and enjoy it. You certainly deserve it after doing so well!! I think I should look into getting a treadmill........... would make some of my problems disappear..... :)

Big hugs to you!!
