Week 5, Day 3

Brisk 5-minute warm-up walk
Jog for 20 minutes
(I added a 10-minute cool down on the end)

Weather: Sunny, 82F
Route: 2.24 miles

Holy crap, I cannot believe I just did that. I feel horrible now. It was bloody hot out there, and I am drenched in sweat, but I cannot believe I ran for 20 straight minutes. When I mapped it out it ended up being about 1.7 miles. I learned one thing, I need to start making my own podcasts. The podcast I was using for the shorter intervals was fine, but I get soooooo bored of that music after 20 straight minutes, and it's only going to get worse as the runs get longer. If I am listening to something I can lose myself in, this running thing is much easier. If I have to spend the entire time thinking about what I'm doing, and how I'm feeling, and how much I'd rather be sleeping or whatever, it is torture to force myself through. But I survived! WHOA! 5 weeks ago I was all scared to increase my runs to 2 minute intervals, and now I ran for 20 minutes? Crazy!
