I had to change it to 2.75 which is what made me say I know I'm different now and out of shape. <br /><br />I still have to run today. Then I run Friday morning with Hilary. I should look at my monthly totals because I think I might actually be close to my goal even though I took an entire week off. Maybe that will motivate me to run more today.

And if you're slowing down towards the end it probably does mean you were pushing harder than you could handle. I also don't necessarily see that as a bad thing, either, though. It's part of feeling yourself out to see what you can do...jenthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15189709906253864392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-262517490401335977.post-57004732829212061092012-11-28T11:33:47.371-08:002012-11-28T11:33:47.371-08:00I don't see walk/run vs. run as being "le...I don't see walk/run vs. run as being "less" or being more out of shape. When we were training for the half, most of my longer runs (the 10 mile ones) were walk/run but I was able to run most of the half until my blisters got too bad. And even then, muscle wise I could have handled running the 13.1 miles if it hadn't been for my stupid blisters.<br /><br />I think you are way too hard on yourself. :) And I'm saying that as a friend.<br /><br />You'll get there again! Just keep it up!!! I was just looking at what I used to do and wishing I was still there right now.jenthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15189709906253864392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-262517490401335977.post-35576253906649618102012-11-28T10:07:45.311-08:002012-11-28T10:07:45.311-08:00But Run/walk is different.

Needing to swap to run/walk when you didn't used to have to do that shows you aren't in as good of shape. <br /><br />A 5 mile run being a huge breeze or a huge struggle is a big difference.

I know you prefer to run straight but you're getting out there and we proved you can do either or in about the same amount of time. Good job on the mile times. And doing the rest of the stuff as well!jenthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15189709906253864392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-262517490401335977.post-61199908215234423712012-11-26T13:51:30.377-08:002012-11-26T13:51:30.377-08:00I'm impressed too with the workout.
