5k Progress

If you recall, just under a month ago I talked about my first 5K attempt on the treadmill to get a baseline.  And here I am, a month later, still going at it.  And day after day, mile after mile, I don't notice the changes and the success (though yesterday, with my longest 'running' time, I did notice that) but sometimes  I need to stop and look at the hard facts.

Just under a month ago, I walked 3.10 miles in 61:18.  That's not bad, but I knew I could do better, and if my goal is to do it in 45 minutes or less in September, I have a lot of work ahead of me.  So I did just that. I worked really hard once March started to try and make sure every day I do at least a mile worth of work, whether it's my bike or my treadmill.

So this is a reminder of last time:
