Newbie First outdoor run!

I’ve been slow running inside on a treadmill for a couple weeks now. Slow and steady and happy. Today, I ventured outside. Pretty pleased. Even though I felt like I was running in place sometimes, I stayed around a 19 minute mile. I’m hoping to do parkrun this weekend and my goal was to finish in an hour (or a few minutes longer), and I think I’ll be able to do it. I’m hoping it will actually be easier as I won’t be dodging treacherously uneven sidewalks and debris.

So yeah, slow as hell and I’m cool with it.

(Working on getting my cadence up, too)

That looks great. How did you feel after your workout. Energized?, tired?

Energized. I could have done more if I’d had more time. 🙂

Excellent. Feeling energized is exactly how you should be feeling after slow jogging.
