Brisk five-minute warmup walk, then:
- Jog 3/4 mile (or 8 minutes)
- Walk 1/2 mile (or 5 minutes)
- Jog 3/4 mile (or 8 minutes)
26:20:00 (13:10:00/mile)
1/2 way through the last lap, I saw my watch said 25:12...I suddenly wanted to try to get under 26:00, so I started to book it. Alas, my herculean effort at the end of my two miles was for naught, I still had over 26 and hence, over a 13 min mile. But I must keep reminding myself: Am I running for time or for distance? My goal today was to run 3/4 mile without stopping. Twice. Mission accomplished.
Intimidating C25K workout coming up on Friday: Brief 5 min. warm up walk then run for 20 min (or two miles--I suspect 20 minutes will expire for me long before the 2 miles...). YIKES.
EDITED: To correct my stats today--I initially pasted Monday's stats in (but today's are better so BETTER BELIEVE I'm posting them;))

Great job! I'm intimidated by the next workout too. I'm aiming for the 20 minute solid run, then 3:00W/10:00R intervals for an entire 3.1. The up-front 20 minutes has me shaking in my shoesies!
You will be fine. Just stay focused on the goal at hand. You're doing great.
You guys can do it! Just remember to take it slow. Those 20 minutes goes by FAST! Before you know it, you're all done. I'll be cheering you on!
Hey there, thanks for the comment and for stopping by. It's wonderful to see a woman make the commitment to stay more active. And, yeah, it's a hard transition. Just don't succomb to the coach, especially given how easy it is in this kind of weather. Stay the course!
Thanks for stopping by. You can do the tough workout on Friday - you've done awesome so far! Just set your mind to it and go. Let us know how you do - I'll be checking back for it.
Hey, I'm impressed. As others have said - stay the course and stick with your plan.
I've only run two official races, both 5 K's...so I know what you are up against. Although it's only 5 K (not a real long distance) the actual race is possibly the toughest because you normally run it at a good clip. Good luck!
Good for you girl...I was once where your at and I have much respect for your tenacity and effort. Keep on runnin on! :)
you are doing so well!! just worry about doing the run and the speed will come...
SOunds like a successful workout!
