For the first time in my life, I went running with a friend. I have never felt I could keep up with someone. I thought I might slow them down. However, one of my friends was very eager to help me achieve my goals. I really wanted to see if I could run outside. In addition, I want to build up to running 30 minutes straight.
Sunday was the day! My friend and I went to Eliot Bridge and ran around the Anderson Bridge and back. I wasn't able to run the entire time. Instead I ran intervals. I ran 3 minutes 30 seconds then walked twice, then I ran 3 minutes 40 seconds twice with walking in between! I ran a total of 15 minutes. It felt great. I realized I like running outside better than on a treadmill. Also, I think having company cheering me on really helped!!
I was super excited to go out running for the first time this season. I'm looking forward to more running opportunities!
