Track-right

This is the running track where I train for the 5K run. I’m starting the 6th week of the 13-week walk/run program soon. In my last session, I ran 3 minutes, walk 1 minute, and repeated that 9 times. I’m amazed that I’ve come so far. I can still remember I couldn’t complete my first session. Nowadays, I don’t usually run with the feeling that I have to give up soon, I am now pretty confident that I can complete the session but knowing that it’ll still be tiring. My legs and feet still hurt but they don’t feel like they are going to break. My lungs are OK. It’s funny, one of the advice in the book is to run slow enough that I can carry on a 1 or 2 sentences conversation, there’s no way I can run, no matter how slow, and talk at the same time now.

In the coming session, I’ll have to run 5 minutes, walk 1 minute, and repeat that 8 times.
