First Run

My trainer* told me that for my first run, I should take it slow and easy, and train for only 30 minutes.  So I headed across the street into a development, avoided the hills, and ran VERY slowly the entire 29 minutes, walking only up one small hill.  I then came home and mapped out my route with Google Earth (which hasn't updated since some new roads were added (that I ran on but could not find on Google Earth)), so the first run is fairly inaccurate.  Here's my stats, tho, as best as I could figure:

2.56+ miles over 29 minutes with rate of  less than 11.3mph.  Not bad for my first run, I think.

    Impressive, Kristen! I would have a hard time running 29 minutes straight my first go! I'll be following your progress with interest!
