Couch to 5K: Day 16

Day 16! After the last workout's insane 20-minutes-long-with-no-breaks jogging, this one was easy. Jog for five minutes, break to walk, jog for eight minutes, break to walk, and then jog for five minutes again. Piece of cake! Since the run times weren't difficult, I concentrated on going a little faster. I was able to keep up a pace of between 2.5 and 3 minutes per lap (or quarter-mile). I actually ended up pushing myself harder this time than last--but it felt kind of good. It's lots of fun to see that I am capable of going way faster and longer than I ever thought possible. Jogging is one of the more fulfilling things I have ever tried!

Is a source of inspiration.
But as I run around the track,
I'm a source of perspiration.
