I think I can, I think I can...

This post is a day late. I am happy to say that I completed my run yesterday without stopping. 25 non-stop minutes. I had my doubts about halfway through it, but I was determined to finish. I just took it one hill at a time. I was even able to pick up the pace a little bit at the end. At the end of the run, I felt extremely good. But the hills did some damage to my shins. I have had shin splints off and on during the past 2 months. Anytime I have to run on hills I always pay for it for a couple of days. But I have to run hills to increase my endurance so it's a good trade off. Well now is the point where the tough training starts. From now on, every run is 25+ minutes without stopping. The goal is to reach 30 minutes non-stop and cover a distance of 30 minutes. I have until November to get my 5K time respectable. See you on the road...
