Workout
Running nonstop and grinning all the way
OK, the last couple of minutes might have had some grimacing, but there was smiling in there, too. Today I ran 20 minutes nonstop. Doesn't sound like much, but it's the most I ever managed in my last two attempts to get up to a 5K. I feel pretty fantastic.
Also made my walk in to work in 27 minutes, which is close to a record for me. I'm going to keep counting these sub-30 minute commutes until I'm told not to, since I am really pushing on them. (Even running in place at intersections where I have to wait for the light to turn).
Couch to 5K, week 5, run 3. Just 4 weeks to go!

That is awesome! You can do it. 20 minutes was a total threshold for me...I was DYING to get there and it was kinda hell, and then something clicked.
