Run Nicole Run, take two
Okay, so it’s really take five, considering the amount of times I started and stopped this thing. But hopefully posting these completely embarrassing charts of my performance online will encourage me. The last time I’ve run at all was back in September or something, so yeah, these are really sucky.

June 13, 2008: 42 min 22 secs at a pace of 17′44″/mile
Rather inaccurate starting points, due to me starting the countdown when I was walking up and down the stairs in the gym.

June 16, 2008: 32 min 50 secs at a pace of 16′00″/mile
Actually followed through on a cool down on this one, thus the downward slope at the end.
I’m not really pushing myself, I admit it. I have the ability to go much faster and longer than this, but I don’t want to kill myself right at the start. I’m also running on a treadmill, which is infinitely easier than on the pavement. I’m thinking of scouting out a “softer” place to run in the City; a place with a lot of grass maybe.
So yeah. It’s a start. Maybe I’ll stick with it this time.
