Sunday, 25 October

It was an OK week- I exercised three times: 1) a two-mile (3.21 km) jog on the treadmill, 2) 30 minutes on the treadmill (mild hill program; 8kph... probably about 12/13 min miles), 3) 90 minutes on the treadmill. I made my goal to do a 10K before the end of the month... although it took me 90 minutes to do it (15 min miles)! I don't care, though, I'm just trying to put in the time. I'm using the same method I used to work up for the Army 10-miler. Just try to do SOMETHING/ANYTHING 2-3 times during the work week; then do one long-slow distance workout on the weekend; take the other weekend day off. I will try to gradually increase the long, slow distance until February. (Although I think my next goal won't increase dramatically, maybe one 12K some time by the end of NOV), one 13K by end of DEC, and one 15 K by end of JAN. (15 K is about 9 miles, and if I can jog 9 x 15 minute miles, I'll be convinced that I can jog/walk 13 miles by end of FEB. We'll see... wonder if I can do the treadmill until FEB? I should try to get outside... maybe next weekend for my long/slow distance jog?
