5 minutes walk + 20 minutes jogging + walking for a total of time of 45:31. Covered 3.32 miles for an average pace of 13:42/mil (dragged down by the long cool down) The big news here is that I survived jogging for 20 minutes without a break! In October 2007 when I started on this program 20 minutes seemed an impossible goal. Even as recently as yesterday I was expecting that I would have to walk at least a bit of today's 20 minute goal. But I made it. Only in the last 2 or 3 minutes did I really begin feeling it. I covered a distance just shy of 1.75 miles in the 20 miles so my next goal will be to jog for 2 miles. Of course, my success did meet with a bit of disappointment. My iPod nano lost my workout information. It would have been enough to push me over the 20 mile goal in a challenge with the coworkers as well as possibly contained my best time over a 2 mile distance. I guess that will have to wait for another day. On to farther and faster goals!
