Today was a very nice warm run I was over dressed I wore 2 layers and should have only wore 1, I ran 3.19 miles at an overall pace of 12:35 I ran with Kory and our dog Buddy it was a fun run but seemed a little hard my legs felt a little tired when I first started. But once I got going it wasn't so bad.

Rachelle:

Some thoughts on your training to make it most effective. Train 6 days a week without skipping. Training must be something that just happens, just like eating or sleeping, rather than an occasional treat or excursion. Establish a minimum quota for daily mileage. 2 sounds like a good idea. Go more if you feel good. Go slower if you do not, even take walking breaks if you have to, but do get through 2 miles at the very least. Increase the mileage and the speed very gradually and cautiously as your fitness increases. Periodically get into a 5 K to test your fitness in a fun way.

I am not sure if I could do 2 every day I guess I could possibly try. Some days it is very hard to make sure I get every other day my schedule is crazy Kory runs in the early am and I open my daycare at 7am and close at 545pm most days I don't have get a break to go to the bathroom I know excuses excuses I read your blog on them but they are true I will take your challenge and give it a try.
