Today I changed up my intervals to 5 minute runs, 2 minute walks. I did 4 intervals, so a total of 28 minutes working out. I had plans to do 5 intervals, but as soon as I started into the 5th, my legs felt like rubber. I ended up quitting 15 seconds in. Maybe on Wed I can do 5 intervals.
My biggest challenge to over come today was the desire to stop running when I reached my 3 minute markers. I quickly became frustrated because I did not have a marker to aim for and ability to do "stride" countdowns to. I was into my 3rd interval when I realized that my laps are 1/2 mile long, and a long term goals of mine is to be able to do 10 minute miles. So my marker should be somewhere near my start running point. Hopefully this will help on Weds when I plan to do 5 intervals.
67 more days until the Run Forest Run 5K. I'll be there, will you?
