After the first mile and a half, I stopped the overall clock and did sprints, 10 X 30" - where I sprinted down for thirty seconds and walked back to where I started. Since the total time of sprinting was 5 minutes, this was probably another mile. But I didn't add this in.

This was a killer run for me!  I went out on a trail and after my sprints, I went back to running  (3 min run/ 1 min walk).  When I got to the 2 mile mark, I thought to myself, "you can go another half mile."  So I kept going to the 2.5 mile mark.  Well 2.5 out means 2.5 back and by the time I got to about 4 miles total I thought I might have to crawl home I was in such pain!  I couldn't tell which hurt more, running or walking, so I just kept going running/walking.  I have never been so happy to see the end of the line!  One of my toes must bend over because it now has blisters on the top tip of it from rubbing on the bottom of my shoe!  BUT this was the farthest I've ever run!!  I'm so excited (despite the blisters and the pain!)  Sealed

Done as a circuit with the weights. Started with a mile, in the middle another mile and a little over half at the end. On a treadmill with an incline but slower speed.

WU: 300 easy. Then 'swim golf' = 6 x 50 on 15" rest & count strokes. What combination of time and strokes gives you the lowest 'score?' (Ex: 43 strokes + 45" = 88).

MS: Swim a moderate effort using the same stroke count in WU set. 8 x 100 (10") moderate. 4 x 50 kick (20") moderate.

CD: 200 easy alternating 50 pull, 50 swim.

My plan callled for an hour run .... like I can run for an hour!  But I did run/walk (3:1 ratio) for an hour.  So I felt good about that.  My goal is to increase the distance each time from this baseline whenever I run an hour.  I think this is the farthest I've done yet.  Heading toward the goal of being able to do a 10K eventually!
