I've got the itch. Not that itch... About 7:45 last night I decided to hit the treadmill. It was supposed to be an off day, but I just couldn't do it. So I ran and ran and ran. For 26 minutes. That's right folks, 26 minutes of non-stop running. I was on the treadmill for a total of 37 minutes and ran for 26 of those plus a few other random runs/sprints. It felt good. I was definitely sweating, but no cramps, aches or pains. I was worried about how I'd feel this morning, but I feel great! Ian said that if I wasn't winded after 26 minutes, I wasn't pushing hard enough. I beg to differ. My goal is to be able to run 30 consecutive minutes. When I can maintain that *then* I will work on speed. I'm almost there!!!! It really is all a mind game.
