new program, maybe I'll stick with this one

Endless rain in San Francisco and endless amounts of work has led to zero running. On tour in Ohio in a boring hotel - means I try again.

Last night I was sitting in my room watching tv so I figured I might as well go walk on the treadmill and watch tv. 54 minutes - one tv show, 3 miles of walking.

Today I decided to go back to the running thing. I found a couch to 10K program that looks doable. 13 weeks. Lots of intervals. Today I did this.

5 min. @ 3 mph
1 min @ 5 mph
2 min @ 3.5 mph
1 min @ 5.5 mph
2 min @ 3.5 mph
1 min @ 6 mph
2 min @ 3.5 mph
2 min @ 3.5 mph
1 min @ 5.5 mph
2 min @ 3.5 mph
1 min @ 6 mph
2 min @ 3.5 mph
1 min @ 5.5 mph
2 min @ 3.5 mph
1 min @ 6 mph
2 min @ 3.5 mph
3 min @ 3 mph

it was easy. I'm trying to figure out the right speed to run. I'd like to be at 6 but my lungs can't do it. I think next run I'll stick to 5.5 and see how that goes.
