Captains log 3222013

Happy Friday Yall!!!  It has been a nice day before we get another 4-8 forecasted inches of snow.  Usually that means we will get a dusting.  I did not wake up this morning for a run, I had a bit of a sinus issue, so I went out after work today.  This little jaunt reminded me why I love to run before breakfast right after waking up.  Man did I drag ass and suck wind on the first 2 minute run.  I was beat.  caught my breath in the first walk and after that I felt ok, but not nearly as good as I feel in the morning.  Plus it is way windier in the afternoons here in Denver Metro, which is not fun to run in at all!

I walk/ran for 32 minutes today and totaled 3.1 miles, a half a block short of a 5K.  That was an average of a 10:19/mile.  Back on 3-4-2013 I did this very same loop making it a 11:51/mile.  I find myself very surprised in the results in just 18 days.  Very cool.  I hope then to make it a full 5K in 30 minutes before the wife and I run on April 13th. 

My intervals were 2 mins running / 1 min walking for 11 cycles of running and 10 cycles of walking.. I walked cool down after the last run cycle.  So 22 minutes of the 32 were running.  So close..  Here is the loop as I ran today with the filler warm up and cool down.
