Today marks my 33% done mark for Couch to 5k and I can't believe today is here. Since it was a big milestone, I actually headed back down to the river with my dad to run. The feeling of racing through the forest path was amazing. Just dodging the rocks and roots and being so in the zone and plugged into my music. I was in my own world. It was even better than yesterday because I was actually prepared and ready to take on the dips and turns of the dirt and the slopes and rocks and jumping over fallen branches.
To say the least, I'm exhausted. My legs are definitely feeling the pace a bit since I was not a slowpoke today. I was really going at a much more steady pace. By the time I was climbing up the final slope to the parking lot, I was tired but I felt so good. It was refreshing. I had done it. I have completed my one third mark for C25k. Tuesday marks the day I begin Week 4 Day 1 which calls for a total running time of 16 minutes broken up into intervals. I can't wait.
