I RAN TWO MILES!!!!!!

Let me say that again:

I RAN TWO MILES!!!!
I RAN TWO MILES!!!!

HOLY F*&^#NG SHIT I RAN TWO MILES!!!

In case you're not getting the drift...today was Week 5 Day 3, so the first day where it was just 20 minutes of running and no walking intervals in between. I'd been dreading it, but I got dressed and headed for the track this morning to take advantage of the beautiful weather before it gets too hot. I had the track all to myself, which was very nice, and off I went.

My podcast got screwed up though, so I couldn't quite time myself. Actually I had decided to just use music instead of an interval podcast today so I could have my own music. I put a playlist together with 5 minutes of walking songs, and then 20 minutes of running songs, but my shuffle apparently shuffles playlists too so my plan was foiled almost immediately. And of course I forgot to wear my watch. So I walked through two songs and then I started running on the track and after 1.75 miles thought I was probably done with the 20 minutes (because the songs started repeating, and also because of my previous slow times) but I ran another quarter mile just to be safe, so two miles altogether!

People, you don't know how momentous this is....I have never in my life run even 1 mile before. 2 miles is crazy talk! I'm sweaty but happy right now, and am ready to shower and party tonight at a friend's house. Hope you all have a great weekend!
