I’m back from illness. I won’t say I’m 100% yet. Probably only 85% but I decided to go to the gym today. I figured a light workout would be good.

I decided that I would do a bit of a walk on the treadmill. So I started to walk and I felt quite good. Then I thought, might as well do a light run, just 5 minutes so that I don’t get too out of shape on the running. And what do you know, I kept running for twenty minutes which means I completed week 05 of the couch to 5K program.

I’m rather pleased.

It also meant thatI have achieved another one of my personal running milestones. I ran for over 3km today. I think I ran for 3.4 km in my 20 mins. I also suspect that this is the longest I have run in my life. Which is a bit sad but it is also an achievement.

So I’m rather pleased now. :)

  1. Sometimes the best cure for not feeling good is to get moving.

  9. Don’t worry, you’re going at an insane speed with your progress - you won’t be chicked at all. (And you’ll be doing the Remuera one anyway, so you’ll be one race up on me!)

  10. :) I’m hoping I’ll be more than one race up on you by then. I’m considering doing them all. Having said that, let’s see if I survive the first one.
