Week nine of couch to 5k

Jog 28 minutes with no walking

This was a rough week. I kept my time at 28 minutes, and generally felt like I’d hit a limit. Can I get any better than this at running? Still not running 5k on my runs, I’m up to about 4.6k in 28 minutes.

I now know how far 5k is. My goal is to run 5k or 30 minutes, whichever comes first, each day next week, with the hope that 5k will come first! My race (click here to donate) is September 30, just 9 days away. The race is the The Eighth Annual 5K “Run for Someone Else’s Life” Roadrace, and looke like there will be some sort of celebration after the race, in case you want to come along.

Update: I did it! I finally ran 5k, and did it in about 29:55. I’ll be happy if I can do the same thing at the race next Saturday.
