5 minutes walk - 10r-5w-10r + cool down walk for a total time of 34:35.
Covered a distance of 2.64 miles for an average pace of 13:11. Woot! I actually managed to run two 10 minute intervals. Since this was my first time to try for that length of time I was a bit restrained in my pace dropping as far as 12+ during the runs. When I try this interval next (on Sunday) I will be more confident that I can survive and try to move closer to my 10:50ish pace. The calf was still a nuisance. I have been stretching the calf muscles and the quadriceps 3-4 times per day including once about 15 minutes before I start the warm up 5 minute walk. Today I paid more attention as to when the pain showed up and it was after the first 10 minute run interval. Is the muscle tightening up while I am doing the 5 minutes of walking? Maybe I should walk a couple of minutes to let my heart come down a bit, pause to stretch a bit and then continue walking until it's time for the next run interval. In addition to having sleep issues again last night, it now seems as though Dale has somehow infected me with his cold via Internet. Scratchy throat, stuff head, etc. The upper half of my body feels like I've fallen down some stairs. I will push liquids, try to rest and hope the cold front passes.
