I improved my 5K time by almost 2 minutes this week. I am now at 36:22. This week I focused on changing my speed every 1/4 mile. This helped out a lot since I was changing as soon as my body and mind started to get a little bored.
I'm now running outside on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with Wednesday being my 'long' running day on the treadmill. Running outside is still much harder than inside but, this week I was able to run the whole trail without stopping. Such a huge accomplishment for me! Good thing my 1/2 Marathon isn't until January. Lots of time left to improve!
So, there is the update! I'm now working on continuing to improve on my time and distance. In the meantime, I'm very focused on school almost being finished! Summer could not get here fast enough.
Niki, you've come a long way! Good job on the steady progress with the running. You'll be running lots of miles before you know it. Keep it up.
