i went for my first run today!! (i haven’t ran since the pacer test in high school)

f, 18, 5’7,” 140lbs

so as said in the title, i went for a run today! i’m so proud of myself!! i haven’t felt this energized from a workout in awhile, i’m so excited to do it again tomorrow. i’m genuinely surprised at how much i enjoyed it.. i wouldn’t have had the confidence to run in the gym if it weren’t for this subreddit

i ran on the treadmill for an hour in intervals of 5 minutes running, 10 minutes speed walking. my running speed was 5 mph and my speed walking was 3.5 - 3.7 mph. i know it’s not that fast, but i’m proud of myself for sticking it through. lol the people near me were going much faster, i hope to be in their position in the future :]
