Day 39 - Small achievement

Woke up with a slight headache - strange dreams, guess am just stressed out. Had planned to do a long run today (reason i missed yesterday), but got up late and had about an hour before had to leave for someplace. Went to the gym and ran at 4.2 m/h for 14.20 mins to complete 1 mile. Feel good, as about 40 days ago, it was difficult to run for even 2 mins at 4.2m/h. So completed 1 m at 4.2m/h, then walked, yes walked :) for 5 mins at 4.0m/h, then ran the rest of the second mile at 4.2 m/h. Completed 2 miles in 29 minutes which at one time (check my first week blogs) seemed impossible.
Thankfully completed the workout in the morning as the headache has worsened in the afternoon. Am going to log my headaches too in this blog to track the occurences. sometimes I think these are because of the cold weather, but waking up with a headache?

Fantastic!!! Blogging is great for being able to look back and track your progrss. I'm thinking about starting a blog just like yours, actually, to track myself during my knee rehab and beyond.

Again, CONGRATS!
