I ran the Resevoir tonight, the whole way around. At only 1.5 miles, it's only a small triumph. Still, it was the first of the milestones I laid out for my CCM Relay training. I didn't think I'd get there on run 6, never having run much of anything before. I didn't clock it to the second, but it took me roughly 15 minutes. 10 minute miles? I threw in a fast walk between the apartment and the resevoir and back again for a 40 minute workout.

Way to go! Your body will respond to the challenge and no doubt surprise you. Yuu will be surprised by how many strides you make early. Keep it up.
Thanks. I could have kept going, but was surprised by that as well and didn't want to push too fast. Frankly, I think I was capable of it a few runs ago, but while I was running a few runs ago I was certain I couldn't. Like so many things, being successful at something has a lot to do with just deciding to do it, and deciding that it can be done. Not to get too philosophical about only a mile and a half, but there you go.
Nice! I love seeing your progress and your patient approach to building endurance. It's the right way to go.
I'm psyched for you.
