Day 3

As it says, I am training for three races for the year 2010. There will be a 5k in February, a 10k in May and then the St. Jude 1/2 Marathon in December. Oh boy! This is where I will post what I am doing training wise and my thoughts on the training.

Water consumption has been good today. I drank 1 of my water bottles full this morning and then have had 1/2 of one this afternoon. I plan on finishing it before I leave work.

Day 1 (Sunday, December 6, 2009): Run 2 minutes, walk 1 minute for a total of 30 minutes (1.8 miles for a 16.25 minutes per mile pace) - I did this without a hitch. There were a couple of times that I was really ready for that two minutes to be up, but I did it and felt great.

Day 2 (Monday, December 7, 2009): Easy walk for 30 minutes (1.5 miles at a 1% incline for a 20 minutes per mile pace). I wasn't even sweating by the end of it. I wanted to quit at the 20 minute just because I was bored. Not good, I know, but I finished the training for the day and tonight will have some running.

Day 3 (Tuesday, December 8, 2009): Run 3 minutes, walk 1 minute for a total for 30 minutes. My goal is to meet this goal with a pace of at least 16.25 minutes per mile. I hope to knock some time off of that, but we'll see.
