Run 3.2

Today was really hot and I decided to go up to the trail, hoping that there would be a breeze. There was a bit of a breeze, but there was quite a bit of shaded areas so that helped. I was worried about overheating (I really HATE the heat). Surprisingly the run was fine. I struggled a bit during the last part of the second 3-minute interval, but there was no major difficulties. I can't believe how friendly others on the trail are. Today there were a bunch of bikers and runners along the trail and almost all of them gave a little wave or nod, which kind of encouraged me to continue.

Looking forward to seeing how the final run of week 3 goes on Thursday. I will see how the 5K goes on Sunday before I decide if I should repeat week 3 or move to week 4 (not quite sure if I am ready for a 5 minute run). Then again, I will probably move to week 4 and if need be increase my recovery time between runs. I am glad I clued into that early in the process - make sure I do the full run interval. It is much better to play with the walk interval, so that my body will get used to the running.
