W9D3 - I graduated

I was so happy yesterday, I stuck it out, I finally completed a program I started. I have been jogging for almost three months, I can't believe how time flies!

The run went okay, I was really tired and almost couldn't keep it up, but I kept chanting "Come on, you can do it, it's graduation day, come on, you gotta blog about this later'. That kept me going, I even kept going for a minute after the BEEP.

I had some other things eating up my time yesterday, so sorry I didn't let you all know right away. Big thanks to everyone who gave me encouragement and support, you can find links to their blogs in my fellow runner's section on the right (I'm coming down with a bad bad cold and am a lazy blogwriter for not linking inline I know I know). Thanks Richard, Gary, Melly, Batman (wow, that sure sounds funny in there), CMB and anyone I may have missed. Couldn't have done it without you.

Plans for now is a one week break. Mostly because I'll be really really busy at work and this cold is becoming quite the nuisance.

After that I'm going to do two interval days a week and one "long run". I love doing the intervals. I haven't exactly thought how to divide them yet, I might make them 'natural' and do what my body feels like doing. The first three weeks I'm holding on to my regular route for timing and distance purposes, after that I'm going to try to increase my mileage.

Thanks again everyone -toasts cheap wine to celebrate-
