Three C25K Runs and One Day of Walking

Got off my blogging schedule. I was also slightly thrown off my workout schedule. I went to ATL on Monday evening to accompany one of my aunts to her surgery on Tuesday. Spent Tuesday night and most of Wednesday in the hospital with her before taking her home late Wednesday afternoon.

Monday 20120130 Couch to 5K Week Two Day Three => I covered 1.07 miles in 19 minutes for a pace of 17:45 minutes/mile. This was a lot slower than than the first two runs of week two. I chalk it up to the gently rolling hills of the field where I ran. I felt really good afterwards. Including the warmup and cool-down I covered 1.43 miles in 29 minutes for a pace of 20:11 minutes/mile. 8126 steps for the day.

I missed my scheduled sprinting workout on Tuesday ( 3815 steps ) and my PBF LHT workout on Wednesday ( 6773 steps ) while at the hospital.

Thursday 20120202 Couch to 5K Week Three Day One => I returned to Greenville in time to take MJB to an appointment. I also took him to his basketball practice at 7PM. During the first half of practice, I again ran on the Eastside High track. I covered 1.02 miles in 15 minutes for a pace of 14:40 minutes/mile. This was a much better pace than Monday. Including warmup and cool-down I covered 1.41 miles in 25 minutes for a pace of 17:45 minutes/mile. Steps for the day 8991.

Friday 20120203 Walking => I took two short walks during my work day: 0.3 miles in 9 minutes and 0.6 miles in 16 minutes. I forgot to wear my pedometer so I can't say how many steps I got this day.

Today 20120204 Couch to 5K Week Three Day Two => Ran on the street in my neighborhood for a change, actually for the first time since my first run on 20120112. It was a gray, misty, cool morning. Ran some hills, too. I covered 1733 yards in 15 minutes for a pace of 15:12 minutes/mile. Including warmup and cool-down, I covered 1.42 miles in 25 minutes for a pace of 17:34 minutes/mile. I walked a little more after the workout was done for a total of 1.5 miles in 28:13.
