Today marks the first day of my final week, week 9, of the couch to 5K program. I ran my very first 3 miles and I did it in 34 minutes. When I first started the program I had hopes of doing 3 miles in 30 minutes, but I am more than happy with 34. For my first time out, that's not too shabby. What is truly amazing to me is how good I felt while running, particularly the last quarter mile and how quickly I recovered. I was lightheaded (always am after I run) and absolutely giddy, but not worn out. I have to admit, I'm a little in awe of myself and it feels really, really good. 8 weeks ago I couldn't run for 5 minutes straight and today I ran for 3 miles. I feel GOOD!
