We were supposed to run day 3 on Saturday but the weather was just awful all day and most of Sunday. By the time it finally cleared up it was Sunday night. Cold and windy but we got out there and ran. Didn’t really plan on running a 5k since the program only calls for a 30 minute run. However, when 30 minutes rolled around we still had plenty of energy and decided to go for it. Woot! 41 minutes. Only shaved a minute off our previous time but the course has more hill running that slows us down. Tomorrow we start week 2 and plan to run 30 minutes instead of the program’s 20. Twenty just seems too short!

Another day done. Today’s run had a 3 minute Tempo run halfway through. Basically a tempo run is a notch above regular speed. At regular speed you should be able to hold at conversation and at tempo you can’t. The 3 minutes went by very quickly and wasn’t too difficult. Next run is Saturday for a 30 minutes steady run. I think we’ll try running to the garden for the work day. We’ll see. Feeling pretty great at the moment. Knee is fully recovered from last Friday’s 5k.
