Longest straight run since I got back

Broke the 1 mile mark.  Total running was 2.25 with a little under a mile of walking. 
Run was planned as intervals but I choose to run when the first walk interval came up.  Ran through the second run and most of the second walk as well. 
One of those good days that everything was working well, just a little back pain after about 15 minutes.

Lot of miles

Six workouts in 9 days.  Almost 20 miles.  Lots of back pain and a shoe change.  Going to increase my runs and add some core work. 
I'm still stuck on 3 to 4 minutes of running before I have to walk.  Should have just done the c25k over instead of making up a plan.  Think the shoes hurt as well, literally and figuratively.

What a crappy day

One of those days that everything hurts pretty much from the start and doesn't get better as you keep running.  I was really hoping that today would be more like Monday, which wasn't perfect, but was a pretty good 3.25 miles. 

Had trouble breathing at the 4 minute point then started coughing.  Almost called it right then but I was at a walk interval so I decided to walk it off and see.  Ran again and no coughing so thinking this won't be bad.  Leg pain started soon after and wouldn't stop.    Then the back was hurting.  Not sure how much was mental and how much was actual pain.

I'm starting to think the minimalist shoe experiment was a failure.  As my distances get longer, the pain increases.  I suppose it might be that I didn't spend enough time getting my body used to them over the first few weeks.  Regardless, I need to get a new pair of normal shoes to get through the Peachtree before I try minimalist shoes again.

Finally ran again

Only 2 miles total run/walk, but I rant two half mile chunks.  Might have run more on the first one, but still not over my cold so the lungs decided they'd had enough thank you and that I needed to walk for a bit.  Still, gave me hope for running on vacation and being ready for the Peachtree.

Diseased

Cold and cough.  Haven't run in a week.  Maybe tomorrow.

Training for half

Found an interval plan that will get me to 13 miles in 12 weeks.  Granted it's a half running 3 minutes and walking 1, but it's a half.  Might extend the run intervals as it progresses, depends on how my legs react.  Best part is that the weekday runs cap at 5 miles unlike the other plans so not going to gave to Gerri up at 5am to run.

Long break

From all things running really.  I tried to maintain, but I just kept putting it off.  It was too hot, too cold, too early, too late.  Luckily I didn't put too much weight back on.  So now I'm once again 2 months from the Peachtree and trying to get myself in decent enough shape to run at least 4 miles of it.  I've been walking with the family off and on for a month.  I just finished Week 1 of C25K in my Merrell True Gloves.  Not sure how those are going to work out anymore.  Glad I bought them with a gift card.  Of course, my legs were hurting today before I even started so can't really blame the shoes yet.  See how my Week 2 goes.  Going to map out a condensed version of C25K that goes right into One Hour Runner without the 3 weeks of 30 minute runs at the beginning.  I think I have enough time if I do 2 days of each C25K week instead of three and run every other day instead of 3 days a week.
