3.5 km On Elliptical

//confetti//

I formally confirmed that exercise-induced asthma was NOT the problem, and it's just poor lung conditioning.

Ran 0.5 km and took a break because weird left thigh cramps. Don't know what was going on there.

Went back at it for the rest of the 3 km (ish, the machine got confused and restarted so I lost some distance in there). Took water breaks but otherwise ran straight through. Probably did the recommended 25-30 mins of daily cardio for the first time ever.

This is an accomplishment after having to start at Level 0 in C25K, and then use the elliptical because leg strength and cardio are NOT in unison on this one. I can run! Woo!

(I also did some stretching and kettlebell exercises)

Seeing progress is the best part of working out imo

Nice job!
