Good grief, a run!

rmc28So, another two-week running gap, for boring reasons of ill-health and/or children. Yesterday I got as far as bringing my gear to work, but didn't actually feel well enough when it came to it. Today I did. So I ran!
1m:1m run:walk throughout, and an average pace of 8:09. I enjoyed it and I will do it again on Thursday, body permitting. And on Friday I (finally) have my weights-planning session.
I'm getting more used to running for entire minutes at a time now. Way back in August I was talking about redoing Magic Mile to reset my training pace, but the trouble is I don't think that would actually get me out of the rut where I've got really really good at only running 30s at a time, and kind of rubbish at running for any longer interval.
So I think what I need to do is run more at 1m:1m, and just do my long slow runs at that ratio, and then work on increasing the running ratios on my short runs. I don't think Magic Mile is going to be helpful until I can run at least 3m:1m on my short runs.
Although I've not run much in the last month, I have been keeping up the regular walking. My weekday routine now includes 20 min, 30 min and 10 min of walking, and is likely to continue doing so. This is usually enough to hit 10,000 steps a day, which seems to be the magic minimum amount to stop my pelvic girdle pain flaring up. So all lunchtime / weekend running or walking on top of that is a bonus.
