At the beginning of December I started the "Couch to 5k" running program again, and I completed it today!! This was my 4th time doing the program, but only the second time that I made it all the way to the end. I'm still not up to speed, though. You're supposed to do a 5 minute warm up, then run the 5k (or 3 miles) in 30 minutes, and then do a 5 minute cool down. I did just over 3 miles in total, counting the warm up and cool down times. Right now I'm running at 5.2 mph, and I'd have to get up to 6 mph to do the 3 miles in 30 minutes. So that's my new goal. I'm going to try to do the 30 minute run once or twice a week now, and work on increasing my speed.
