Woo! I managed to get two full miles inside of 30 minutes! Previously, I’d been getting about 2.9, and was walking a good portion of the time. This morning, though, I made myself run about half the time (maybe just a little more). For the first mile, I walked laps 1 & 3, and ran laps 2 & 4, and for the second mile, I walked the first half of each lap and ran the back half of it.
I’m not running at the pace I’m going to need to get a 10 minute mile, but I’m pushing myself to run longer (whole laps at a time) rather than faster (quarter or half laps at a time) and keeping my minimum/walking pace higher throughout the session. Is it any wonder, then, that I’m craving eggs and the protein they provide?
