30 Minute Run 

              The 30 minute run was a great workout and I was able to learn a lot about pacing. At first I wasn't sure whether I wanted to do 6 or 7 laps laps so for the first lap I went off with a nice steady pace to suit my level. My first lap I ended up doing a timing of about 3.5 to 4 minutes. I calculated that since my pacing would be too fast for 6 laps I would be able to complete 7 so I kept running a good steady pace ranging from 3.5 to 4 min. Although I wasn't exact I think I still did well with my timing and I am happy to know that I can pace myself if not perfectly. Using a stopwatch I used the the time to check whether I needed to slow down or speed up. Using this technique I was able to finish exactly when the 30 minutes were up. I was satisfied with the outcome although I feel I can still improve with having a more exact timing for each lap. After the run I was so tired that I was having trouble standing! But I managed to stand and walk around while I was waiting for some of my friends to finish and to cheer them on. I really enjoyed this exercise and I think we should do it again. It's a really good experience to learn how to manage your time. Here is a pic of me after the run.
