Did the PT workout again only with less walking time.  I started with 2 minute walk and 3 minute run and worked my way down to no walk.  Felt good the whole time.  It's pretty hot out there right now, which I think is good because I need the heat training. Although I want to go back out tonight I probably should hold off until tomorrow just to make sure everything is ok.  Doubles coming soon though.
