I FREAKIN' DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I ran for 20 minutes straight!!! I'm in shock! If I wasn't so tired I'd be jumping up and down right now! Around the 5 minute mark I started thinking there's no way I can do this and when I hit 8 minutes I thought "Maybe I can do this". From 10 minutes on all that was running through my head was "keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going". I wasn't running very fast, I thought I'd concentrate on my endurance first and worry about speed/distance later. Mapmyrun.com says I ran (not including my walking) 2.9km. Woo hoo!

In my early morning, sleep-deprived state I forgot to weigh myself before I ate so I'll weigh-in tomorrow and tell you all how I did.

Have a good night!
