- Walk 1/8 mile (or 90 seconds)
- Jog 1/2 mile (or 5 minutes)

I chose to do this for distance this week, so I went to the HS track, how better to visualize distance than that, right?
2.25 miles
24:00:00 (10:40:00/mile)
Made it TWICE around the track, and two times, at that! I ran for a mile and a half of that 2.25 miles:-) The cool thing was, I *started* to understand about falling into a rhythm--I wasn't really sucking wind so much any more; it was my legs that were actually doing a little of the complaining (the quads), not used to the longer spurts of running at a time.
Off to Disney soon. We have breakfast with Mickey on the day of my next scheduled run, so I'll have to try to fit it in that evening. I will try hard to stick with the workouts while we're away.

That is FANTASTIC time! Isn't it amazing how much you can improve in such a short amount of time?
I have enjoyed reading your story, I have been running exactly one year now and can remember when I first started out........congratulations on your improvement that you have made. It does get easier with time!! Keep up the good work and enjoy your vacation!
Look at that pace! Wow! I'm green with envy! :)
Enjoy Disney!
I'm green with envy that you're going to Disney! I've never been to Disney World, but I used to live in the shadow of Disneyland. They're having a half-M this fall to coincide with their 50th anniversary. I went to sign up, but it was already full. :-(
Great job running. I like track workouts--the surface is cushioned and the distance is so easy to measure.
Hey:
Just catching up on my reading. I grew up in Milwaukee -- on the east side (nearish to Downtown). Running the lakefront there is beautiful...(never did that when I lived there... just do it now when I visit home).
Nice job on the track work...
Wow, what a great pace. That is awesome. You are doing so well.
you are doing great! to get a taste of that pace this early in your training is fantastic!
