OK, I ran again this morning. Took 11.5 minutes to run a mile, then I started alternating walking and (barely) jogging til I reached the 20 minute mark. Basically, I did a little over half a 5k in 20 minutes. I'm hoping that in the morning or at least by Sunday, I'm not going to be quite as sore as I was after the first time I ran this week, so that I can try to better that first mile time by a few seconds, and make a little more distance in the 20 minutes.
I kept going after the first mile mostly because so many experts say that we need at least 20 minutes of exercise for it to really "count", plus I'm still looking to burn extra calories in my effort to loose weight. this morning I was at 205, down from 244 in November (averaging almost 2 lbs/week) - my goal is to be around 190-195 by early summer.
