Went for 31min 5 sec and ran 2.3 miles.
I'll take it!

What a difference a day makes

I listened to my body and took an extra rest day yesterday. After battling a stomache bug and a 3 day headache, i was ready to get back at it.
Tried intervals of 3 min running at 4.7 mph and 1.15 min walking at 3.6 mph
It seems to agreed with me as I was able to complete 5k, 3.1 m in 42:41.
My best time since I started running again.

Intervals

Still trying to figure out intervals & what I like/works best.

Did 2 min running between 4.5-4.7 mph with 1 min walking at 3.6 mph

While the running was easier the 1 min recovery was tough.

Got it done

Didn't want to do it, but kicked my sorry butt down to the treadmill & got it done.

Stuck

So I am continuing to run, see my tracker on the right? >
The mileage is low, and I'm kind of stuck on week 5 of c25K.
When the run for 20 minutes showed up on week 5 d2, I laughed.

I ran intervals instead.
I am working on embracing run/walk intervals.
Right now I am trying 4 min running at 4.5 mph and 1.5 min walking at 3.6 mph

It seems to be working.
I tweaked my knee at some point this past week- walking the dog or something- so when I transition from my warm up walk to my first run interval it is downright painful!
But then it eases up- like the knee cap moves into the proper location.

I continue with the 30 day fitness challenge- legs- level 2.

Progress is slow, but steady.
