Goal Posts

When I first mentioned running 5k to some friends who run, they independently gave me the impression that it isn't far and would take about 40mins. Little did I know that if I were to complete 5k in 40mins, I would be running at full pelt for the duration. I can hardly run full pelt for more than 5mins without being reduced to a weed exposed to deadfastTM. Besides my stride is shorter than most people, I have to take more of them.

Now, with the toy, I know how far I am going and at the rate I was walking tonight it would have taken 2 hours!!!! So I have decided to lower my goal from finishing in 40mins to more like 90mins! As I go on, my expectations may go up. I hope so.

DAY 24: Short walk outside.
DAY 25: 5 min jog.
DAY 26: 1k walk (T)
