Had a great week of training. On both Tuesday and Thursday I did my training runs and ended up doing 5k both nights right around 39/40 minutes. I think that is good since I had nobody to chase after to make me want to speed up. On Tuesday I ran for 70 seconds and walked 35 then Thursday did 80 and 40, plan on increasing these times like this for the next couple weeks. I want to get up to running for 3 minutes and walking 1 minute.
This weekend the family and I spent the weekend at Disney. Stayed at the Boardwalk Inn, great place for runners with the paths that they have. Sunday morning I got up before everyone and got ready for my run. Went out and ran the boardwalk and the path along Epoct Resorts Blvd. My training plan called for a 6.5 mile run. That is what I ended up doing. I finished in
1:27.48 with a pace of 13'32". I did it running for 45 seconds and walking for 30, I did do one extended walk period just after 4 mile. I think I could have went further but I am not pushing it and am sticking to the training plan.
It was a great weekend overall and enjoyed the company of my family. Also spent some time visiting with a friend from Colorado who just happened to be at Disney this weekend. Had some great food at Hollywood Studio's Prime Time Cafe, EPCOT's Teppan Edo and breakfast today at O'Hana. My next trip to Disney will be in13 weeks for the Disney Half Marathon. Still working on all the travel details.
This coming week I have a 5k scheduled for Saturday, I had said I wanted to be under 35 minutes for the next one but being only two weeks after the last I just want to beat my previous time. This one will have me running across a bridge so it will be my first experience with a hill. Hope to have fun and will let everyone know how I do.
