Finally ran outside!

I previously was saying how I was nervous from running outside since I've only ever really ran on the treadmill.

I worked myself up so much that I decided to just bit the bullet and do it today. I started small and ran 2.5km. I was able to run a good chunk of it, but did have to stop a few times to walk. My ipod stopped working half way through, which majorly sucked.

I'm pretty happy with myself.  And REALLY happy that I still have 6 months before my 5K. I have a lot of work to do.

  • That's great! In my opinion, it took a little bit of time to get used to (the traffic, weather, hills, cracks, damn bugs) but I now prefer it over the treadmill!

    I absolutely agree with this. I used to hate running outside, but the more I did it, the more I liked it to the point that I now MUCH prefer running outside, enjoying the weather, than being inside on my treadmill.

  • That's great! I much prefer running outside. Good luck with the rest of your training!
  • Great job!  Like others, I used to hate running outside, it was intimidating, there were hills, there was no AC, etc, but now I love running outside :)  And with this wonderful spring weather we are getting up here in New England and the added hour of daylight after work I am a happy happy girl :)
  • I like running outside way better. I think the distance elapsed tracker on the treadmill is mocking me.
