So to be healthy I run...on the treadmill. I enjoy it. I watch the TVs at the gym or listen to my tunes on the Ipod. The most I have run/walk is approx 10km. But those times it was sprint then walk. Well this past Saturday I ran outside a whole 10km!! Yes I am proud of myself and it was more a shuffle run but I did not walk and I did not stop. I followed the race course for the Barrhaven Fun Run that had occurred the week before. My tunes on the Ipod really helped. It was a new play mix with songs I had not heard in awhile so I think that helped a lot. I was also doing it at 5:46am. It was the perfect temp, I saw the sun coming up, I came across 3 bunnies and there were not many others out at that time...perfect! I was not wearing a watch but I think it took me approx 75min. I know to all my "athlete" friends that may seem long but did I mention that I ran the whole thing?! I even sprinted the last bit in order to pass an elderly walker that was ahead of me. Yes I nearly did puke and/or pass out but I just sat for a bit then headed home. I felt so good because honestly I do speed runs of about 3-4km during the week and as mentioned before never completely ran an entire 10km. I was sore a bit later in the day but was on a high for completing it.
Just thought I'd share.
