Day 6 - Running, outside

This is my first run outside. Shazam that is a kick to the rear end. I did manage to run for one mile without stopping and it took me 10 mins. I went another 2-3 mins and then walked for a 2-3 mins. Ok, I will admit that was kinda dying until minute 7 when things started to ease up, like my body was getting used to the pace. 10 min mile is not bad, if I can keep up that pace I could reasonably do the entire 5 K in less than 40 mins. Here's for hoping. I did manage to go a total of 2.5 miles, and I am proud of that right there. I didn't ever think I could go over 2 miles while running. I can't believe I was able to stick with after Day 1 and the 6 minute jog on the treadmill.

I need shoes, my feet were not loving it. I am not sure what kind to get but I will keep you posted. I will say that my wife has been running now for a couple months training for an half marathon and shoes made all the difference with her knees. I need to do the same and get some. There are people that do know what they are talking about when coming to running, find them. My wife's shoes were about $ 90, but she has had luck with them.
