One mile without stopping = success!

Today's program was run 5 min, walk 2 min......repeat 3X.  Our plan was to run a mile without stopping.  We're slow.....so we guess it would be around 12-13 minutes.  So we did our normal 10 minute warm up walk....then did a 5 minute run.  My shins were killing me today.  So we walked a few minutes and then did another 5 minute run.  Walked a few more minutes until my legs weren't hurting......and then we set the timer for 13 and were on our way......1 mile without stopping!  And we DID IT!  Then we also did another 5 minute run on our way back.  We were pretty proud of ourselves.

The ASR group was out for their Sunday run on the same trails as us.  So we crossed paths with our coaches.  They are SOOO encouraging.  I really, really like them.  As they ran by us....they all said, nice job ladies, etc.  Their support and encouragement really helps. 

Amber & I are going to continue to run a mile on top of our regular program on Sundays.  We think this will help us increase our speed and who knows.......pretty soon we might be running 20+ minutes without stopping!! 

Happy Running! Enjoy your Sunday.
