I did it!! No iPod malfunctions, without a doubt I know I ran for 25 mins without stopping! I went out for dinner on Friday night so I had to postpone my run until Saturday morning. This actually worked for the best because I was so tired after work on Friday that I don't know if I could have completed the run.
I woke up fresh on Saturday, had a light snack then set out. I took the whole run slow but steady. I felt pretty fatigued at the 20 minute mark, but I pushed on. I was so relieved to hear the descending chimes that Podrunner uses to signal it is time to stop running! I felt a little light headed and shaky when I first stopped, but after the cool down walk I felt pretty good.
I really need to work out a new longer route now that I am running for longer. I think I'll have a look at an online map and see if I can work out how I can extend my current route.
This week I'm changing my running days around a bit to fit in with my uni schedule. I'm planning to run on Monday, Thursday and Saturday this week. I'd like to try to fit in a yoga or stretching class this week as well. There is a really good gym at my uni campus so now that I am back at school I'd like to make yoga a regular thing.
