Wednesday

19 laps, 2:1 lap run/walk ratio, 33:39 minutes

I increased my run/walk ratio this time, as planned, and had a good run. At first, I was tending to be a bit grumpy that my time wasn't any faster with doubling the run intervals, but then I decided I should really be glad that it wasn't any slower—if it had been, then I'd know that, even in my midweek two-milers, I can't keep up a three-minute run. Since I can, it means I will be ok doing what is essentially a 3:2 minute ratio for my midweek runs, and a 2:3 minute ratio for my long runs should be no problem.

Plus, this was my first time doing the 2:1 lap run/walk ratio for the whole two miles (I think, or at least the first time in a long time), so it will probably get easier, if I keep it up.

Ten miles this weekend! Double digits! Then twelve, then I can relax for a week with a mere six. I'm glad I'll be reaching the every-other-week mileage increase soon.
