Day 11

Today I was able to run 1.5 miles without out dying afterwards. I ran the mile in 6 minutes and 30 seconds and the 0.5 miles in 4 minutes. So I did 1.5 miles in 10 minutes and 30 seconds. For me thats a record time by far. I've learned its easier to do the mile and a half in the morning before it gets hot. Otherwise it is really hard. This first week of the cycle has made me alot stronger already.
