c25kSuccess!
Done yesterday, on the way home from work. I took a slightly different route which gave me more chances of crossing the big busy road that cuts across all my possible commutes home, as last week I had to basically stand and wait to cross. I'll do that route again in future, it has a handy loop which I can go round more times if/when I get faster, but yesterday delivered me to my door 10 seconds after the end of the cool down.
No stitches this time, I paid more attention to running slowly enough that I was ok, and even when it started to rain towards the end of the run I was still ok and content/enjoying the endorphins (also I had a Bond songs mix to run to which I was loving). Even so, I'm still basically hovering around the 2 mile mark with no appreciable further distance even though I'm exercising for 30s longer and running for 60s longer.
My general fitness seems to be improving: walking my commute has been a bit faster this week than last - from 17:40 min/mile down to 16:58 min/mile. I once could powerwalk at 14:30 min/mile but only while getting nicely sweaty, but I'd like to see whether I could reach 16 min/mile without getting too hot (at least winter helps for that).

rmc28becomesmember: rmc28etc. DW automatically interprets the:as hierarchical tags and it would make all the tags which are names of members sit together in alphabetical order in the tag list.Please ignore if my suggestions are too obsessive!
