Ran 5 miles in 34:56. Ran one mile warm-up at 7.2 mph (8:20 min mile) then beginning at the one mile marker ran 1/2 mile intervals at 9.7 mph (6:11 min mile) with a one minute recover jog at 7.2 mph in-between each interval. I ran a total of six of these 1/2 mile intervals. That was pretty tough and several times my mind tried to talk me out of completing them, but perseverance paid off.
Though I take daily allergy medication, I think the allergies are still acting up as I am feeling something in my throat and upper chest today.
Today is the official beginning of my training. My first half-marathon is 11 weeks from this coming Saturday. That seems so far away yet it will be here quickly (thank goodness, I want spring!).
