Well this is the home stretch! This is the first day of the last week of Couch to 5K. All week, I will run for 30 minutes. I had been running for 28 minutes before, so running 30 wasn't much harder. I made it a little over 2 1/2 miles in 30 minutes... not super fast! Something that was nice today is that I had a track partner. Megan went over with me, and she walked while I jogged. You might think that over the course of 30 minutes of running I would have the opportunity to lap her over and over again. Not so! I only got to pass her two times. What the heck? Anyway, it was fun to have somebody to walk with at the beginning and end of the jog.
My 5K Dash to the Finish Line run is fast approaching (November 5th), and I am a little nervous about it already. I figured that I'll finish up Couch To 5K (last day is Wednesday if all goes as planned!), then I'll practice running 30 minutes plus that extra half mile, so that by race day I will be used to running 3 miles. Hopefully the exhilaration of running in a race will give me a little extra speed too!

You will do well Kris. I know you can do it. With ease!
How is the weather looking for your run. You just have to have a picture for this!!! We will be wishing we were there at the finish line.
