Running update (week 3)

Julie and I have been training for 2.5weeks now, 3 times per week and into our third week today. When we started we were pretty slow (ok, we still are but....) Our goal isn't to run a 5k in 8 minutes (yet) but to just be able to start running and do a whole 5k without walking but we're not there yet either. We have, however, shaved some time off of our original time which I think is progress. When we first started, we walked/ran a 17.32 minute mile, last week we walked/ran a 17.00 minute mile, and this week we did a 16.45 minute mile followed by a 16.25 minute mile. I am optimistically encouraged about the improvement in my/our time. We've made a few adjustments to our original training plan but that's just because of the logistics of where we're running.

The 5K is July 20 - which, by the way, really sucks because it is hotter than Hades in AZ in July. Ben Davis, you are in for a rude awakening, I believe. :)
