C25k: week 5 session 2

8 minute run, 5 minute walk, 8 minute run
27 April

It's been raining.  It was a very wet run down by the canal, plenty of puddles as well as really interesting shapes as the water has drained away leaving little piles of debris behind.  The path back through the woods was far too wet to really run on: I didn't think it through.

An 8 minute run, first time above 5 minutes, and I was surprised to find it went by fine.  I wasn't puffing and panting at 5 minutes at all.  I did decide to see how far I could run along my mile course to see if I could do 8 minutes, and so my first running portion was 8:45 as I ran the full mile.  Who'd have thought I'd be comfortable running a mile?  Not fast, but yes it was comfortable.  And 1:15 quicker than previously (Although that had some walking too).

Tomorrow/next time it's a full 20 minutes with no enforced recovery walks... gulp.
