I ran for a full 30 minutes today!!!!!!!!! It wasn't fast, and it was on the treadmill which I had set at 0 incline, but I started at a slow jog and sped it up after a minute and again after 2 minutes to 5.5 mph, and I stayed at that speed for the rest of the full 30 min. It was about 2.7 miles. And it felt good.
My shins hurt a little bit, maybe need to take a couple days off and let them rest. Not really painful, but enough to notice.
I left home thinking today could be the day, and it was! It took less than 2 months for the first baby step. From the weather it looks like I'll be inside for a while, so I guess the next step will be to do the same again a few times. Then look to increasing speed and/or distance. Maybe distance first, since I have to hit 3.1 for March?
Go me :)

About Me
- The Lazy Cretins
- I am not an athlete. I mean, really not an athlete. You know how by the time you are in second grade or so you know where you fall in the kickball team choosing order? I knew I was last round, even if a friend was captain. It's OK, I was good at the rest of school. But now it's time to push the boundaries and work on some fitness.
