Week 5 : Friday : Cool Running

DONE!

Day 15 : 5 m warm-up / 20 m jog

Total: 25 minutes - walking (5 min) / jogging (20 min)

I went into today’s workout with a positive I CAN DO THIS attitude.  I was a bit worried I wouldn’t be able to do all 20 minutes.  The last 5 minutes – especially the last 2 – were tough.  Lots of hard breathing.  But I DID IT!  I jogged the full 20 minutes!  I walked an additional 5 minutes at the end to slow my racing heart rate. So my numbers were 10 minutes walking / 20 minutes jogging.

I am really more jogging than running.  Today’s workout was 20 minutes or 2 miles of running.  I am nowhere close to running 2 miles in 20 minutes.  I am so not running a 10 minute mile right now.  lol!  Closer to a 15 min mile which means I ran 1.5 miles today!!  Next week I may up my speed a little to get that up.
