Wednesday, May 16 - 1.5 Miles With No Walk Break!

The first two days of this LAST (!) week were pretty lazy - slept in, didn't exercise, didn't log food, etc. Part of me is OK with conserving my energy for the Warrior Dash THIS SUNDAY (!), but another part of me wants to wrap this effort up right. So I'm back daily to finish this up!

Major accomplishment today: during my 2-mile run/walk, I decided to make myself run for at least a mile because I checked out the race course and it appears there are no obstacles for at least the first mile. Ideally I would like to run the whole thing, especially considering most of it's broken up by 12 obstacles. I would hate to start walking just 3 minutes into the race, you know?

So I took it slow and easy (a 4.5 mph jog) and was able to feel pretty damn good running a mile and a half with no walk break - yay! The remaining half-mile was done as a 5-minute walking warm-up and another 5-minute walking cool-down. Total - 2 miles covered in 30 minutes.
