Somehow I found the motivation to get started back on this journey last night. Granted, it was a slow start, but with the race at the end of April, and my acceptance of only tackling the half, I should have plenty of time to get this done. I figured the 2+ months I took off also means I need to start to running total of training miles back at the beginning.
Last night's run was in the light rain. I planned to do the intervals of walking for two minutes and then running for five. I have the walking part down. I ran all of the first five minute interval, but in the second on, I was unable to run even two minutes and then walked the rest of the time. I managed to cover 1.5 miles during my mostly walk of 24 minutes.
Tonight, it was sloppy outside again. I changed the intervals to five minutes of walking and two minutes of running. I will adjust each week until I get to running the majority of the time. For some reason my watch is not sending the info to my computer tonight, but I can just get the raw data of the training screen. Looks like I covered 2.07 miles in 33:12. Not setting any land records, but at least in motion.
Total time: 57 minutes
Total distance: 3.57 miles.
