I ran 20 minutes today without stopping! That might not sound like a big deal to some people but seriously, it was a big deal for me.
The first part of the run was the hardest. I ran, and ran, and ran and thought surely it had been at least 10 minutes but it was only 8. But, once I hit the 10 minute mark, it was a lot easier after that. And by the 5 minute mark I was running with a big smile on my face.
Wasn’t running very fast, but I felt like I kept the same steady pace throughout. I was happy with myself.
On to Week 6 in the C25K program!
In kitten news, we’ve allowed the dogs to visit with them for a few minutes periodically. Clank is absolutely fine around them. Ratchet is doing a lot better. I mean, Ratchet was always fine with them but he was just a little too excited. But he’s been a bit calmer. They’re good boys.





My name's Amanda. I'm 32 years old, am married to my best friend and love animals. I have two dogs - Ratchet and Clank - and two cats - Dr. Nefarious and Zoni. They are awesome. I dabble in freelance webdesign, and I'm also a runner, albeit a kind of slow one. Tom Glavine is my favorite athlete of all-time.
