I came down with a cold Friday-ish, so I wasn't sure how Saturday would go, but I knew I was going to run some anyway. Despite being sick, I started off great. Walked for a few minutes, like usual, to warm up, and then I got running. I've increased my pace slightly since I've started running, and I felt like my starting pace was still too slow, so I increased it a little bit. But between the cold and the increased pace, it was just not happening. I was at least able to decrease my pace and get in 30 minutes with a walk break somewhere in between, so it was still pretty good.
With my weekly break on Sundays, today was the first day I've run since Saturday. I didn't have a clear goal set going in because I'm still sick and thus figured I'd just feel it out. I ran at the pace I've been used to and felt really good. I had hoped for 25 minutes but would have been happy with 20. But 25 was no problem! It was a really good run, and I hope to feel like that next Saturday on my longer run day. Today's television show of choice was A&E's new show "Heavy", which is basically like any of the other weight-loss shows, but I still enjoyed it. (I know, I watch weird shows. :P)
I'm really excited about how much progress I've made already. Thank you to everybody who has been reading this and talking to me about it. You guys help motivate me to keep going and really enjoy this journey.
My parents are indeed buying me good running shoes for my birthday! I'm either going with my dad later this week or just getting money to go on my own. And my grandma is making me a wrist wallet to carry money and keys when I start running outside. So a great big thank you to my parents and my grandma!
