5 March: Three Slow Kilometres

My first three-kilometre run — slow, twice interrupted by walking. Progress is not speeding up; it is not stopping that day.

5 March, windy

I ran three kilometres today for the first time. Slowly — I even stopped and walked twice. My legs were heavy at the end, but something in me was bright.

I have no intention of comparing paces with anyone. Someone else’s five kilometres has nothing to do with me; my three have something to do with me — last week I couldn’t finish one.

Three things done today

  • Ran three kilometres (pace irrelevant)
  • Did not sit down halfway
  • Stretched afterwards

Slow doesn’t matter; still moving doesn’t matter either. The hard part is not going faster — it is putting your shoes on again tomorrow.

Progress is not speeding up. It is not stopping that day.

A note for whoever I am later.
