25 minutes!!

For the past 2 weeks or so all of my running as been with using the Jeff Galloway (JG) running plans.  I do run 2 minutes, walk one.  My running has been anywhere between 5mph and 5.6mph, then my walking speed is anywhere from 3.2 if  am really tired up to 4.0.  Today I decided to do a straight run instead of intervals.  In the past the farthest I have ever run straight was one mile in 12:20.  Today I up and ran for 25 minutes straight!!  I am so freaking proud of myself!  I ran at a nice slow pace of 5.0, but didn't stop or slow down at all.  I went over 2 miles!  This makes me think I could go on and do a 5k running right now.  This means my interval training is paying off!  I was so impressed that I could run for that long.  And truth be told, I could have kept going for a little while, but I was tired and happy with my workout.  This week I think during the week I will stick with intervals, and then next weekend try and run a straight 5k.  I am so confident now that I can do this!  It was really fun too.  :)
