Day 4: Get Run Over

My run for this day was another 20-30 minutes. I decided to run up to the track again and see where it got me. When I got up there, there was a man running already and he was fast and big. Not heavy big, but like 6'5, stocky, and able to run through a person. I was a little intimidated, but I got on the track and started to move. This guy was moving at quite a pace. I was nervous. The track ramps up the sides on the curves and so I thought I'd try and move out of his way and realized that my run was going to be a long one if I stopped and did that every time I heard (and felt) him coming. I thought to myself, "You know Kim, you're running, just slower, so keep going and let the man with the longer stride go up the ramp." So I did. Once I got through that, I mentally decided that I was going to run longer than the day before. I had done part of the C25K the day before, but felt as if I could run a lot longer than I had. So I did. 25 minutes without stopping. It felt wonderful.

I have to remind you too, that this was AFTER a swim as well, which was a great swim too. Not as good as my first one, but I finished and felt good. I was quite tired after all of that running and swimming, but it was a good tired. I can feel myself getting stronger.
