Last 5 Runs

OK - Let's see if this works. Below is supposed to be my last 5 runs. As you can see by the jagged lines, I'm still walking some. I thought I really had a breakthrough last week, but the heat came back. All week I've run after 8pm, tonight was 85 and humid at 8:15pm...ugh... I really don't like running so late but it's too hot!!!!

2 1/2 miles without stopping!

Just had to share my mini-feat today. I can now run 2 1/2 miles without walking. YAY! Pretty soon I'll be able to do 3, then I can start adding mileage. It wasn't tiredness limiting me, my feet were pretty much dragging due to tight achilles there at the end. A couple minutes of walking loosened them back up and I was able to run the rest of my 3 mile loop.

The bummer is my weight is being stubborn and not budging. Grrrrrr... I must be adding muscle! (hmmmmm....)
