Couch to 5K: Day 27

Last day! It felt strange to run around the track, knowing this was the last day I would have purpose. At least Couch to 5K purpose!

As a special, last day surprise, I was able to shave a little time off my my mile! 11:40, down from being stuck in a 12 minute rut. Woohoo! 

Now here was an even bigger surprise: I thought the computer voice, the one that tells you to walk or run, would congratulate you at the end of the last jog. I mean, c'mon, you made it all the way! I was really wondering about this the whole time I was jogging. What would computer voice say? But all she said was the usual: Workout Complete. That was kind of a surprise and a let down!

I think my next goal will be to add another lap to my jog, until I am up to three miles, so I will be ready for my jog. I will also work on getting speedier, so I can eventually run a 10 minute mile. Doesn't that sound respectable?

I'm SHOCKED they didn't congratulate you at the end. I guess now you will be looking forward to different 5Ks around town. Maybe there will be a winners prize for the November 5K.

I congratulate you!
