Today I ran 5k in 43:27! I feel really proud. Sore, but proud. This also included running three solid minutes at 5.5mph. Overall, I'm really happy with how my runs have been going. I've been slowly pushing myself a little more each run, and keeping with a Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday or Sunday schedule. Walking for five minutes before starting my intervals has helped a lot too, as well as taking it easy for the first half of my run, then pushing for the second half. I think my next step for improvement is going to be gear-based. I've been wearing a cotton tank top, and man does that thing get sweaty and sticky! There were some light, moisture wicking tanks on sale at the Nike store when I bought my shoes. I'm going to head back there tomorrow or Thursday and see if they're still there.
168 days.
