Running..10K here I come!

Welcome March and welcome Spring! I look forward to spring for a myriad of reasons, first and foremost is the fact that very soon it will be warmer than freezing all the times. So today after a long break from running (like 6 days) I decided it was time to see how far I could run before I just had no more strength left in me. Lucky for me Gold's Gym has the Cardio Cinema! Which makes running for a long period of time more bearable. They were showing some weird movie with some weird people in it, believe it or not they were also doing weird things. Like this dude was trying to save the minister's daughter and so he basically murders everyone in his stinking way and then gets the girl. At any rate- I ran! I warmed up for like 3 minutes and went a distance of .15 then I ran for the next 47 minutes straight. In that time I was able to run 4.70 miles! So 10 K (which is like 6.2 miles is not that far off). I had to prove to myself that I could run for a long span of time and put some serious miles on the treadmill. Well I did! Basically I should be able to hit 6.2 miles by the end of the month at the rate I am progressing. Moral of the story.....watching movies in a theater like room makes running somewhat less of the suck.
