This isn't going to be all that interesting of a post :) Just keeping y'all updated on my ever so slow running progress. I walked/ran my normal route and cut another minute off my time-so I'm now at 47 minutes 38 seconds for 3.4 miles. I walked 5 minutes, ran 3, walked 5, ran 3, etc., like yesterday. Today I really tried to focus on keeping my pace up while I walked, and I did pretty good. I only slowed down once, when I ran into a teacher I used to teach with 5 years ago. We walked and talked for about 5 minutes, so that little 5 minute stretch was a bit slower, but oh well.
My goals for next week:
Monday: Increase my running time to 4 minutes with 5 minute walk breaks...and not crazy slow walk breaks :) Ben and Carly will be with me on Monday, so hopefully they can 'scooter' with me :)
Tuesday: Off...I'm teaching :)
Wednesday: Run 4 minutes, walk 4 minutes
Thursday: Off (teaching again)
Friday: Run 4, walk 3
Saturday: Run 5, walk 3...we'll see :) My main goal for Saturday is to run 5 minute stretches...the walking might be longer than 3 minutes :)
This is all on using my 3.42 mile route.
Okay, so now you know :) Hopefully all will go well! I'm pretty proud of my very slow progress...every morning I wake up looking for an excuse not to go...and every morning I actually go. Registering for that race has been my motivation :) Well...and the fact that I've now not been pregnant longer than I have been pregnant, and still can't fit into my pre-pregnancy clothes :( Pretty tired of the 5 outfits that fit me...
