16 minutes in My this and that

I’ve been stuck in my running at 15 minutes, I couldn’t go longer. I kept getting cramps and having to take a walk break… my goal is to keep increasing my time until I can run a full 30 minutes… and then I’d like to increase my distance within that 30 minutes so I am getting faster.
But I was stuck at 15 minutes until today. The difference was, I didn’t eat anything this morning before I headed out. I thought for sure I’d feel too weak to do a good run, but I managed alright, and ate a big breakfast when I got home.
I’ll have to try that again next time. For now I’ll celebrate my accomplishments :D
I’m going to cancel my gym membership after work. I can run for free… I just don’t feel like paying for it anymore; but I’m a bit scared I’ll miss it.... oh well. Saving the money for my trip is more important at this time.
By the way, 74 more days until Europe!

Yeah I would advise not eating before running when possible. Staying hydrated and finning a stretching routine that works for u can help a lot too.

I still actually got a little cramp even though I didn't eat anything... but it was not nearly as bad as normal.

That's awesome, congratulations! You remind me of how my dad started and now he runs full marathons! You will find outside much harder too!

The only place I've ever run is outside. The thought of running on a treadmill is something I actually don't think I'd enjoy.

Oh that's awesome, that you just run outside! I really dislike running outside...I really like knowing how fast and far I am going...but If I got one of those fancy watches, then it would be great! lol

I use the runkeeper app. It's free, it uses the GPS on my phone to track my distance, also tells me my average time per km, my total time, etc.

Oh cool! I'll have to look into that, we are cancelling our gym membership. So I am going to start running outside.
