c25k week five day three

I have been apprehensive all week. I've been lurking around the c25k.com forums to see how others approach the 20 minute milestone and learnt a lot.

I headed out to run early this morning. I was very focussed on conquering this one first time out, so I started running VERY slowly. By the end I think I was running my normal pace (which isn't exactly breaking speed records either) but all of a sudden the podcast told me to stop and I was suprised. and very happy :)

I think I'd taken it a bit too easy, as I was nowhere near as tired as I had been previously. But this was more of a mental obstacle for me, and it was more important to get this 'long' run completed without stopping. I can think about pace and distance once I get to week 8 or 9.

Now I know I can do it. And I will now think of myself as "someone who jogs"
