My next 5k – Day 2 and Day 3

Day 2 was boring I just walked 2.7 miles. I’m using trial and error to see how long it takes me to walk a 5K.

Day 3 this one has made me hurt.  Both of my shins are throbbing and my right knee is protesting.  I did my 3 low 1 med interval run again, same as Day 1.  Pain in my shins took my mind of my breathing so I wasn’t sucking wind as bad until the last set.  According to the scale, I lost 3 pounds of sweat. I’m thinking my scale is whacked.  My major goal for the rest of today is to drink 6 glasses of water.  1 I’m drinking now as I type.

Tomorrow I plan on just walking.  Going to get in my truck later and drive a 3.1 mile route so I can get a feel for the distance.

My next 5k

Doesn’t that subject title make is sound like I’ve run alot of them? Truth this will only be my 2nd one.  I ran my first one 3 years ago.  I think I finished that one in 43 minutes.  I half jogged / half walked it.  My goal for this one is to jog the whole thing.  3.1 miles = 5k So I’m going to try out interval training, I found an easy pattern either on sparks.com or from runner’s world. I was tired when I looked it up so I’m not sure which.  Basically its 3 mins low, 1 minute medium, 3 min low, 1 minute med, … repeat until you hit 27 minutes.  Time to give it a try… now where did I put my running shoes?
