A record today

I ran 21 straight minutes today, which is a record.  I am finding that I can't continue running after I stop...my motivation goes out of me, so I ran for another 3 minutes and stopped, stretched, and walked the rest of the way home.  :)

I think now I am going to start the 5k training program which I found online, and is here:

I will start with a 2 mile run, and work my way up adding .25 miles each week.  I like the fact that this training schedule has rest days every other day, especially given my injury (which seems to be back a bit tonight, but I'm going to take tomorrow off).

You can map your run to determine distance at mapmyrun.com.  I love the internet!
