Running with Kids...Week 6

T-21 Days until our first 5k.

Last week went well!  In fact, the last run with my daughter was supposed to be 7-5-7.  First interval was 7 minutes, the second ended up being closer to 8, and then she said "why don't we run to the ice cream parlor and have daddy meet us there."  We ended up running the last interval for 10 minutes.  Very very pleased and now she KNOWS that she can do this.  With warm up and cool down, we did 2.4 miles in 37 minutes.  With very little effort NOW, we should be able to do a 5k in less than 45 minutes...which was subconsciously my minimum goal for them, although I would love to see them do it in under 40.

Our protocol for this week starts with this run:
Run 8 minutes
Walk 3 minutes
Run 8 minutes

Then:
Run 10 minutes
Walk 3 minutes
Run 10 minutes

Then:
Run 20 minutes

Wish us luck!
