KL First Training Run: 3 miles

I ran my 3 miles today, and then I walked 2.25 miles after that. My pace was pretty slow - I'd say between 4.5 - 5.5 mph - for the majority of the run. During the last 10 minutes, I did speed intervals up to 6.5 mph to focus on building strength and fast- twitch muscle fibers.

My left foot is now covered in blisters (let the whining begin), but I feel fabulous.

I haven't run in about 3 weeks, so I was surprised that I was able to grab my 3 miles, even if they were slow ones.

I'm excited to run outside too. It is considerably more challenging, but if this gorgeous weather keeps up, perhaps we can find some interesting places to log some miles. I'd like to try trail running too - softer ground. I know we need to build up the skeletal endurance to run on the concrete, but maybe we'll mix it up some.

I'd like to run around Walden Pond so that when we're through, we can jump in. I LOVE the water. ;)

Good job, Car!
