Week 6: One Mile + MM + One Mile

30:45 sec run/walk ratio
49:23 min
3.39 miles
14.6 min/mile
14:33 min Magic Mile

Since it was only a three-mile run today, I was planning to run at home, despite the still somewhat muddy conditions of my driveway, but when I fired up my app and saw that it was a Magic Mile day, I went ahead and drove out to the Park. It was a good day for running, sunny and breezy with temps in the mid-to-high 50s. I wore long leggings and a short-sleeved tee shirt with my jacket, which I took off around halfway through the run.

Good time today! I was pushing it a bit, not only on my Magic Mile, which was uphill and barely any faster than my overall time, and possibly increasing the run/walk ratio to 30:45 seconds helped a bit, too. I didn't take any water or food with me, since it was such a short run, and didn't need any. Finished feeling good, with plenty of energy to do all the other things I have to do today.

Because of the snow this week, my driveway was too muddy and slushy to run on, and I didn't want to drive somewhere for a mere 30-minute run, so I fired up my Wii and did some running in place and around the house, and some other exercises with Wii Fit. Not as good as actually getting out and running, but better than nothing for those winter days when running outside is a problem.
