Goal

With the running my original attempt was to do the whole race is a run. What is that 3.1 miles? And if my normal pace was 12minute miles that would be a little over 36 minutes to finish the race. I think that could still be possible. It doesn't seem as daunting. Of course that would mean I would have to run faster when I ran and walk faster as well to get a better average. That may not happen. I will have to see.
I know for sure I want to finish under 45 minutes.
I should go back and look at my splash + dash time.

So ever since the triathlon I have been trying to improve my run. I found the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving day was the perfect time frame to train. And I put together a schedule. I must admit following the schedule has not been all that easy. I can't seem to do better than 4 to 8 minutes of running. Oh and let's throw in there - there is definitely something wrong with my knee. It is very sore and doesn't seem to want to consistently feel better. So that is an issue as well. I may be pushing myself - but I tell myself I would push more if it didn't feel so odd.
So the routine isn't getting me very far.
I was excited last week or so when I actually managed to run for 8 minutes. This week I found it in me to run for 5. Now if I could improve my pace that would be pretty close to running a full mile.
So I will continue to work on that. I have 18 days to continue to work on this. We'll see how it goes.
