5K Training: Day 18

Well, the weather didn't improve, so I was seriously dreading today's run. When I used to run inside during the Winter, I got bored after like five minutes, which meant that 20 was going to be a bitch. Luckily, there was something on the television that caught my interest (making legislature to keep people in the Peace Corps from getting raped and then blamed for it). Also, I noticed when you're not about to die from lack of breath, it's easier to keep yourself entertained while running inside. Just another plus of training.

Anyways, I ran for 20 minutes (4.4/4.3mph) on the treadmill, which told me it was ~1.48 miles. Oddly enough, my pedometer almost agrees: 1.47 miles. Either way, this is the longest I've run and I feel BALLER to have completed a mile and a half without feeling like death at the end. Even though I do run pretty flipping slow... I was doing the math in my head; when I run 3 miles, it's going to take me 40 minutes. UGH.

But that's a worry for a later date. :)
