The run itself went well with my pace slightly increased since the first run. Monday's run finished at exactly 2 laps (approximately 1.6 miles according to Google); today's run finished a little ways past that, so I went ahead and completed the third lap accompanied by a few of my own mp3s.
I found the first 3 minute run to be slightly more difficult than last time; by the time Laura said "slow down" I was huffing and quite out of breath. The second 3 minute run wasn't as bad though and I had enough energy to push my speed a bit during the final 60 seconds.
Thanks! I'm trying to get as much of it under my belt before my son and I go to Pontins (Prestatyn) for a long weekend in August. That weekend will completely mess up my running days. But it's a yearly tradition and I can't/won't sacrifice it. I'm dreading next week and week 5 though!
My knees tend to ache for a day after a run, but they're ok when the next run day gets here. Well, so far at least! Thankfully, my support shoes really seem to be doing the trick for my ankles - they haven't bothered me since I got them!
