Another 2.5 mile run in the books (my 5th), but going to 3 miles seems daunting. I think part of it is mental. Part of my brain was contemplating quitting and walking, but I realized, I wasn’t out of breath, my legs didn’t really hurt. There was just no excuse. It does highlight the benefit of running outdoors versus a treadmill. I still had to get back home and it would have only taken much longer had I walked. I have four more practice runs before the 5K. I haven’t really seen much improvement over the last several runs. I did run slower than Saturday, but my knee hurt a little at the start. I’ve read to cut training by 30%-50% every 4th or 5th week, and I think I am due.
