So yesterday was a 25 min run. I was at the gym for regular workout so I hoped on the dreadmill and did it. I have to "play" with the buttons...slowing increasing pace, down then back up. So I ran w/ my friend at a 10:30 min pace last weekend...but 5.6 or 5.7 on the dreadmill and I am begging for a walk break...what gives?

Today as a 30 min run. Got up before work and out on teh street before sunrise. Again, pace low/slow. No where near the 10:30? Was it the lack of coffee?? someone to challenge me??

I run w/ the running group tomorrow AM. We are scheduled for 4 miles. My friend will be there again, so can I do it? Can I run a 10:30 with her? We shall see. I WANT to since I want to increase my speed and get under 2:10 for my 1/2 marathon. I'll report later!

BTW...I was supposed to do 3 runs this week and I did ALL 3 of them.
Finally, completed a week in the training plan as outlined!
