5K for Orphans Training: Week 2

Week 2, Run 1: Great run! Up to 1.5 min runs now. Going to make it to that 5k for sure, even if I'm the last to finish! :)
At run 5, I wasn't sure I could do the last 3 minutes of running....before I knew it, I was done.
Average Pace: 17.34 minutes/mile

Week 2, Run 2: Great run! Missed running at 6 am today cause I couldn't sleep last night, even after an exhausting 4 hour day of yard work. Didn't really want to run today, but I did! And I feel great and am glad I ran.
I set my eyes on a goal for my last run and made sure I pushed to make it, so when my run coach app told me 15 seconds left, I ran faster to reach that goal.
Average Pace: 17.10 minutes/mile

I implemented my walking on days that I don't run, I saw a difference in my pace in Run 2, which is the day after I implemented my walking plan.


Week 2, Run 3: Great run! A little warm out there, but at least there was a nice breeze. My left calf was hurting during my first run, I just slowed my pace and it went away. Also had a side cramp - don't usually get those.
Average Pace: 17.36 minutes/mile

Missed a walk last night because of the storms. Will pick those back up starting tomorrow. I really need to leave a pair of walking shoes at work so I can do it on my lunch hour.

So far so good! Loving the runs. Totally clears my head! Now if I could only get up early in the morning to do them so I don't have to do it in the evening heat. Here's hoping I can do that on Friday. :)

Next run (on Friday) will be 2x: Run 1.5 min., walk 1.5 min. Run 3 min., walk 3 min. (9 minutes of running - which is what I did this week).
