Hmmm; even if you do 3 minutes of running, i.e. one lap at roughly a 12 minute/mile pace, followed by 3 minutes of walking, that still amounts to 45 minutes of running over 90 minutes. Maybe I've just had to be super cautious, but I think that may be too much for where you are. Obviously, you are in the better position to judge how you feel, but I know from personal experience that an overuse injury from running can develop rather quickly.

Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

hmmm, good point. I will be cautious and shoot for 45-60 minutes rather than 90. I have done that on the trail so that should be ok - especially as there are no hills on the inside track

I wound up not going this morning...Wednesday is between my two killer group training sessions so I've a rule that I can only workout on Wednesday IF I am not sore/fatigued from Tuesday AND I have had a GOOD night's sleep Tuesday night. I woke every hour on the hour...sigh...so no exercise this morning. I will do this Friday afternoon if I don't ride very early Friday morning.
