Today I ran 25 minutes. 25 minutes! Without stopping! Without walking! I am still going the same speed--about a thirteen-and-a-half minute mile--but today I ran for almost 2 miles.
It was an exciting run today because geese took over the track. At first it was funny. One goose lunged at a college track team guy and made him squeal like a little girl. But then I noticed all the goose poop. I had to weave around it, and it wasn't easy! And then I realized that a goose could turn on me just as easily as it attacked a fast-running teenager... so I got a little nervous. But I think the obstacle-course-type nature of today's jog added a whole new dimension to my workout, one that will come in handy when I take it to the street and have to weave between people. Mean New Yorkers who will lunge at me like an enraged goose. It was probably good practice.

I'm glad you didn't have the misfortune of slipping in goose poop. Wow, though, two miles. Are you sure you are my daughter???? Go, Kris!
2/3 of the way there to your 5K!
Yeah Kris. I'm so proud of you! Beware the goose. I've seen them take big, grown men down. We used to have a nest by our front entrance at work and they would throw all their weight onto the backs of Mens legs and knock them down. The best part was it was usually some jerk that everyone wanted to knock down and kick - so watching the geese attack was a morale builder. Don't make eye contact and don't turn your back on them.
