I did it! I ran another 5K today! It was a really windy, cold day so that did not help. The course was along the lake, and the first part was directly into the wind. I was dying right off the bat. But then we rounded the corner and it wasn't as bad. I was running with a couple others, but they quickly out ran me, so I didn't even try to keep up. The way back was much better, with the wind behind us. I think my time at the 1 mile mark was 10:24, and then at the 2 mile mark, they said 24:50, but I think we were farther than 2 miles at that point, because I didn't slow down that much. But who knows. My final time was 35:47, so I didn't quite make it in under 35 minutes like I wanted to. I did run the whole time though, so that's good.
I'm counting this as Week 7, Day 3 of the C25K, so I'm done with that week! As far as the run went, it actually wasn't terrible. I kept wanting to quit, but I didn't. I think it was hardest on my lungs. I didn't notice that my legs were sore at all, but my right shoulder hurt for a while. At 25 minutes, I thought that I could quit running and walk the rest and I'd at least get my C25K day of running in, but I really wanted to run the whole thing, so I kept going.
So yay! I ran my second 5K and got the tshirt (even though it's kinda ugly...) :)
