so far, so good... day 2

I did great yesterday, I think! I accomplished everything on my goal list and didn't have to deposit any dollars into the piggy bank. :) So far, so good I say. I didn't think I would have enough energy to go out and run last night, but I made myself go and I ran 3.15 miles! Yes, I haven't ran as much lately and was kind of itching to run more. Lately, I've only kept my running to 30 minutes max. Last night, I knew that if I wanted to run a 5k (3.1 miles), I would have to run longer than 30 minutes because there's no way I can complete a 5k in under 30. Anyway, my time was pretty decent. I did the 5k in 34-1/2 minutes... which isn't too bad, but I guess if you considered the fact that most of the running was on a flat surface, then maybe it's not super correct?! I don't know, I figure a typical 5k course would include some hills. Of course my run last night did include some stairs climbing, semi-step hills, etc... but most of it was around this huge soccer field and I don't think there was any incline in that at all. :P

Anyway, so there's a 5k/10k happening across the street by my house this Sunday. Again, I think I'm going to do it. After last night, I feel like I should at least try. If I ran a pretty flat surface under 35, I think I can run this Sunday's 5k course in 40 or at least 45. I know the time's not great, but it'll be a start... especially when I have the 10k Nike+ race at the end of this month.
