Day 8

Today's run was a bit of a killer. I think I'm coming down with something, and most likely shouldn't have run, but it felt good to do it. It was just a lot today.

Today's run was to Run 5 minutes, Walk 1 minute; Repeat 5x. I went 1.930 miles in 30 minutes for a pace of 15:34 minutes per mile.

Now, you might be thinking to yourself, "Wait a minute! Wasn't Sara's pace faster yesterday?!"

You'd be right. Yesterday I tried to up not only the number of minutes out of the 30 I actually ran but also I tried to up the pace I did it at as well. This I've decided is a mistake. I'm going to first focus on actually being able to run the 3.1 miles and THEN I'll worry about working on speed. I should have a couple of weeks between the build up and the race to work on it in. I'm not trying to WIN, I'm just focusing on finishing. :)
