Slowly but surely....

So, Becky made up a training schedule for me in January when I hatched this crazy idea.  We started the beginning of February with 3 days a week and next week I am suppose to start running 5 days a week.  But, I haven't been able to master the run/walk times listed yet because I've had to go slower because of my shin splints.  This week I have been able to run everyday so far.

Monday we did the grueling 3 min run/1 min walk.  I know that makes me sound like a running novice - but I am.  :-)  Did I mention it was uphill...both ways... (seriously).

Tuesday we did 2 min run/1 min walk because my shins were splinting - but I wanted to get the run in.  It was a much easier time than the 3/1.  It is amazing how long 3 minutes is when you are new to running.  (Side note:  I hope to look back on this in a few months and realize how far I've come from making that statement).  But, I had to ice my shins last night and wasn't sure about running today.  But, this morning I felt great, so this time Chris and I did another 2/1 round and I made it :-)

Tomorrow I will try 2:15/45 sec and see how that goes.
