C25K – Week 7, Day 2

I went to the gym again tonight to run. It felt pretty much like torture the whole time, but I did make it 25 minutes. I had read that if you run on a treadmill, you should run on a bit of an incline, otherwise it's like you are running downhill. So, I set the incline to 1 and started out. By 5 minutes my legs hurt and I was not enjoying it. At some point then, I put it down to .5 and made myself run until the halfway point at that incline. Then I put it to 0 and kept on running. It was still hard and at some point, I put the speed down so I wouldn't quit. I think I put the incline up back at 1 for the last minute or so and was finally done.

Not sure why it seemed so hard tonight, but I did it. Next up is the 5K! I'm hoping that since today was so miserable, my next run will be easier. Oh, well, I'm not to worried about the time for the 5K, I'll just see what happens. Hopefully it goes okay anyways.
