First time for a full 30 minute run
Had a tiring but great run. I'm breaking another PR, this time, my first long 30 minute continuous run
I wrapped up the last day of my 5th week of the couch-to-5K running plan with a full 30 minute run along Glorietta and Legaspi Village early this morning. Not that easy but I pushed myself to do this instead of the required 20 minutes. That’s a feat for me at this time. When I checked my dailymile, its 5.12 KM, 37 minutes and 6:38 pace/km. Not bad, I think.
A bit tiring that when I ran past Park Square, my legs started to complain that I slowed down but glancing at my watch, I said to myself, a few more minutes and I will be able to do 30. When I did reached Legaspi Park, the clocked ticked to my goal.
As for the route, I initially planned to do a minimum of 5K as a preparation for the 18 April Earth Day Run 2010. The route started at the corner of dela Rosa St. and Pasong Tamo, rounded off People Support with a short dash in Ayala Ave. before going back to dela Rosa. I then followed the street until Makati Ave., detoured to Glorietta, passed SM Makati and Park Square, turned right at Pasay Road all the way to Amorsolo then back to dela Rosa.
What a run but I did enjoy it very much.
