Running 5km

I started running once per week around October 2005, then three to four days per week starting in May. I had what I thought was a reasonable goal of running 5km non-stop by the spring of 2007. I amended that goal a while ago when I realized I was running 3-4 km each time I went out (see mapmyrun.com) and thought I could possibly do it by the end of the summer. Well I did it with flourish today, running just under 6km non-stop and I felt GREAT! I even added a bit extra when I reached what would have been the end of the run because I had more running in me. And I wasn't puffing or wheezing when I finished; I felt fabulous! Stretching at the end of my run, I marvelled at how far I've come in just over a year. I never truly believed I could do this and with such a sense of ease.

You amaze me.... Even though I have watched your progression over the past year....

Why can't I get off my fat ass and join you?
