I just got back from my last run of week 6. Only 3 more weeks to go!!! I can hardly believe it!
Today, after my 5 minute warm up walk, I took off. I am still keeping a purposely slow pace, because I’m still a bit nervous that if I push too fast too soon, I’ll cap out before I want to.
So, I set off, and in 25 minutes, I went 1.92 miles! I ran 23 minutes and 30 seconds without stopping, when I was BLINDSIDED by a screaming cramp/stitch in my right side! I was stopped, involuntarily by the pain, it surprised me so much. I’d been taking great care to breathe fully and deeply. I walked for about 30 seconds, took off running, and my podcast queen comes in almost immediately and says, “1 minute left, really push it!”
DAMN!
So, technically I ran for 24:30… stupid stitch.
But all in all, I’m pretty proud. 
In related news, I have ankles!! Like, actual ankles! hehe.

Sounds like you are really becoming a stronger runner! I run a pretty slow 5k, too. I haven’t actually run a formal race, but I am working on my time and endurance on the 5k with hopes of doing a 10k at some point. I hope I have a similar burst of energy today!
