YUP - NO walking breaks...didn't even really slow down either.
AND we also achieved negative splits!

This is my chart from Nike Plus and it shows how I gradually ran a little faster each mile. This particular run was extremely good! I think I was in the zone...and felt pretty much ZERO discomfort. Well, when we started out I was maybe a little uncomfortable, but check out that second mile...and so on...ha! I might even venture to say that I felt happy...shhh...don't tell my body. It might rebel the next time we go out...haha
Oh yeah...I'm feeling like a runner!!!
To what do I owe this increased improvement? Well, we started doing 30 Day Fitness Challenges. The first one was the Plank challenge, which ended for me once we got to a couple of minutes. Yeah...I'm not that strong and my back wasn't having it either. So ended that a couple of weeks ago. I decided I still needed to try something else. After looking at some of the other challenges, I settled on the Little Black Dress challenge. Not for the Little Black Dress aspect, but because there were a variety of required elements for each day. So far we have stuck with 3 - three day sessions and will have a rest day tomorrow and jump right back into it on Friday. What to try out something new? Check out 30 Day Fitness Challenegs for the other challenges to try out.
If things continue to move in a positive direction I think that the Runner's World Half Marathon is going to be EPIC!
I am SO psyched!
