C25k: week 5 session 3

20 minute run
30 April

20! minute! run!  I've had my eye on this session since I downloaded the plan.  It seems a big step up from 8 minutes last time and now more than 5 minutes prior to that. 

It was ok, really.  The website for the plan talks about working towards jogging/walking, and taking a (walking) breather in the middle of running is fine, but I was determined to try running the whole thing.  And I did, except for 4 steps after turning around on 12 minutes.  I'll cope with that.  It was good to be able to know roughly the distance I'd cover, as I was running down by the canal and the wood like usual, so I could use a distance targtet as well as a time target.  I did feel that I was going to be sick on about 14 minutes and was really very slow for most of the second half, but from here on I'm increased the time a little and woprking on increasing comfort with that amount of running.

Still, I'm quite proud of myself.
