Today was supposed to be my third day this week of running, but I did the AHA Heart Walk with my workplace today. So instead of running, I walked 5k. I had planned on being awesome and running either before or after the HW, but that didn't happen. I'll do the podcast run tomorrow.

I've still been pretty good with the 2 minute jogs - I almost feel as though I'm not working hard enough. But, I'm supposed to run slow enough to make it to the end of the interval, even if it feels as though I'm holding back. I'm so frightfully slow that it hardly feels as though I'm making progress.

I have that feeling sometimes too on days when it's going really well. I try to save it for the last few minutes and try to run a bit faster then.

You are definitely making progress, though. It's just that it sneaks up on you and suddenly you realise that you can actually run ofr 20 minutes straight and in fact just did. :)

The Heart Walk sounds cool, yay for doing that.

I really recognize the thing where it feels like you're too slow at the beginning. I think that is how the programme is supposed to work, though. For me, making myself slow down enough that I could actually complete intervals was the only way I improved my fitness enough that I could actually keep going for a decent time. And once I could do that I started gradually building up speed (though I'm still pretty slow in the scheme of things.)
