5K training run July 5, 2007

So I decided to do my long run today instead of next Saturday because I have an appointment on Saturday to get a new tattoo.

This run felt pretty good. I was a bit discouraged this afternoon when I read a post from one of my online running buddies that she PR’d a walking 5k faster then I can run one. But then I thought about it. 2 months ago I could not run 2 minutes let alone two miles. I might be slow, and I might not be able to run the whole thing yet, but I will get there.

I am slowly increasing my long run distance by .05 each week by increasing the first part of my 5k plan by .05 and reducing the walking portion by .05 each week.
