well in sunny old melbourne it was 30 degrees at lunch time and I was desperate to get my run in because it had been 2 days since i finished week 2 and tomorrow I will be in the city all day so running will be out of the quesiton. Not only did I have nerves abut jogging for 3 minutes but doing it twice was a real mental hurdle for me.
As Monday morning progressed the office was driving me nuts so another excuse flew out the window. I headed off to the park/ track where I run from work and set up my Ipod and off I went. for some reason the audio cues didn't work for the first 1/2 of my run so I had to rely on the change in the colour of the screen. Then I worked out how to fix it by hitting the external volume up control and everything just fell into place. I worked my way through the whole run. Didn't cheat and finished the run dripping wet and hot as hell but feeling great. I can't wait until Wednesday to do it all again.
today was the first day I have felt the need to carry a water bottle but gee I'm glad I did. legs were good breathing was good all in all it was just good. slow but good. Yeaaaaaaaaaaa

Nice job! You're very smart to focus on the "good" and not the "slow". The best run I've ever had was also my slowest - felt like I could go forever, didn't have to think about anything, it just happened. Aerobically, it was just as beneficial and the fact it felt good made me feel like a runner for the first time in my life.
