Now that I’ve decided there are events that I am training for I need to find a plan. For the moment I’m working with Hal Higdon’s Novice 5K Plan. Once I finish this plan I will move on to the Novice 15K plan to prepare for the Charlottesville Ten Miler in March.
That said, this past week was week 1 of the 5K training plan, which meant running 1.5 miles 3 times. I got up well before I needed to be on campus on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and braved the cold to get those runs in. The first one was tough because I was feeling a little under the weather and my lungs protested a but, but by Wednesday I was feeling better and my run reflected that. Fridays run was easier still and I feel like I’m ready to increase the distance this week.
As far as all the walking/rest days I’m loosely interpreting that. I walk to campus every day which if I do the walk just once a day gives me a mile round trip. Outside that I don’t have a whole lot of time for other exercise, so I figure I’ll do what I can but the important part is getting those runs in.
