I've been stuck on week 8 for longer than I had hoped to be. Today was my 5th day of week 8. The good news is, I think I've conquered it. My plan is to start week 9 on Thursday.
I brought the run inside today onto the treadmill in the fitness center at work. It was boring but I did it. The one thing I like about the treadmill is the ease of pace management. I was able to find my pace and stick with it throughout the run and then incrementally increase the speed over the last 5 minutes. 28 minutes is still not an easy run, and I'm not sure it ever will be, but I know I can do it if I manage my pace correctly.
Today's Stats: I covered what the treadmill said was 2.8 miles in 34:45 for a pace of 12:25/mile.
Next Up: Tomorrow afternoon I hope to get back to the pool for another 700 yard workout. Thursday brings up C25K Week 9, Day 1 which only adds two minutes to the run for a total of 30 minutes. I know I could have done another two minutes this morning, so if I can keep my speed in check 30 minutes shouldn't be a problem.
