Distance: 3 miles
Running Time: 5x 4 min segments with 3 min walking, last two were 3:30 walking
Destination:  Manchester to Westchester
Weather:  Hot, stop wearing jacket
Clothing:  Teal pullover jacket - too hot, stop wearing jacket
Regrets:  Frank working really helped out with the distraction, as did the change in scenary, Manchester is like an obstacle course
Best Part: Longer segments, really feeling like I did my best

Goal revisited - want to be at 3x 5min by end of April.  Planning on early June 5k.

4/15/2012
Distance: 3 miles
Running Time: 4x 4 min segments with lots of walking (4-5min)
Destination:  Airport Road and back - a little further than last time, lost on McConnell, bad idea
Weather:  Thought it was chilly, but actually hot once we got out there, probably too hot for the dog
Clothing:  Teal pullover jacket - as always - bad idea - too hot.
Regrets:  Frank GPS out of whack, heart rate monitor battery dead, right ankle started hurting from the very beginning.  Same ankle as last time.  Wrapped and rested when I got back.  Ankle hurts more when walking than when running.  Investigate whether it's shoes; gait; ankle strength.  
Best Part: The weather is getting so much warmer, it's great to be outside.  Did some cartwheels before we began.  Just wanted to play:-)  Maybe some kickball next time.  

Stay at 5k distance for at least the rest of April.  Also try to move up to 5 minute segments in next 2-3 runs.  Goal to be at 1/2 mile segments by end of April with 1/4 mile walking x4.
