Treadmill progression run. Start at 7.5 mph, increase every half mile. Plus 1 minute pushes every 5 minutes. Finally got down in the low sixes at the end of the workout.

My goal is to get more structured and consistent with my training. I'mean running a 5k on Thanksgiving, so it's time to start incorporating some speedwork. It's a long slow road back to fitness.

Easy run around my neighborhood listening to Radio Ronin, my new favorite podcast. My legs were pretty tired from yesterday's faster workout. 7:49 average.

Pretty windy this morning. Not a lot of fun to run in. I warmed up 20 minutes and then ran 3 x 3-2-1 minutes with 2-2-1 minute recovery. About half a mile jog to finish. 7:21 average. It's tough getting the legs to turn over early in the morning.

Extra tough getting out the door this morning, but I made it! Just a short, easy recovery run before tackling a longer run tomorrow. SLCC loop with some add ons.

Afternoon run. I loved the sunshine. 7:05 average. It's nice seeing progress. And I managed five days straight of running. Baby steps.
