Yay, my shins were quite sore yesterday so I was worried that I might not be able to do my "long" run today but I felt great! I always seem to feel great when I run on Saturday mornings. Anyway, I did a full 6 km (LOL, yeah I know that's not actually very long for most of you but it is for me), and I only did one walk break after 20 minutes. I probably don't need to do walk breaks anymore but I figure it won't hurt. Next week, I'll take one after 25 minutes, and the following week after 30. Then that's it.

I ran with the podrunner music and it's what really keeps me going. I read that I should be trying to run about 180 bpm (in keeping with a bike cadence of 90 rpm) so I've been trying to work my way up to that. I used to run about 160 bpm but now I can comfortably do about 176. Interesting. Going for a swim in awhile, and probably hard, hilly bike tomorrow.
