This Week in Running

This starts week 4 of my official training program. This week increases running times more rapidly than I am used to. Monday starts off at 8 minutes with a 1 minute walking breather followed closely by 9 minutes and then 10 minutes. So, by the end of this week, I should be up to 10 minutes of non-stop running. I have decreased my average speed so that I can complete these goals more easily. At the end of each workout, before the cool down, I like to push myself a little bit harder. It sure makes me feel rather accomplished after the runs.
