20 Minutes, Well 17 Actually... (Win)

Motivation:

I was worried about this morning's C25K run. It starts off with the same five minute warm up, then twenty minutes of running, and the same five minute cool down. Yes you read that correctly, twenty as in 20, minutes of running.  What?! I just conquered eight minutes and now I have to do more than that, more than double?  Okay, I am up for the challenge.  I will see your twenty minutes but give you only 17 minutes.

Seventeen minutes is still kind of awesome!  I took a walk break for less than three minutes when the C25K app told me I was half way there.  I walked for the remainder of the song I was listening to and when it was over I was back to running.  I had a slower running speed this morning than I've had lately but I tried to keep it slow to conserve my energy to be able to last the full 20 minutes.  I am just glad that I didn't give up around 12 minutes, or stop to walk and never go back to running.

All was well, and I am glad to be done with Week Five.  Week Six starts off with five minute and eight minute segments, and then Day Two is ten minute running segments.  Oh but wait, Day Three is running for 22 minutes.  Week Seven is full of running with no walk breaks, and Week Eight is a full 5K, running! I think after I finish the program I will work on 3 mile runs for a while and try to get my time down. Then, I'll move on to the 10K Trainer app and work on distance.
