I did 10K runner today, week 7 day 1. I actually can't believe I made it to week 7. Today the run had the 5 min. warmup and cooldown walks, a long run interval of 18 min., 3 min. walk, 3 min. run. I was surprised that I actually did the 18 min. run, and I'm not sure if it's because I took a rest day yesterday or what, but I felt like I could run a bit beyond the 18 min! During the 18 min. run I covered just over 1 mile straight, probably around 1.25 mi. After the cooldown walk, I was able to run a 0.5 interval nearly straight (stopped briefly for a drink of water at the park water fountain) and then later it started raining, and I ran 1 mile straight again to get home out of the rain. So overall I ran around 2.5 mi, maybe a bit more! And I did about 1.5 mi walking, so I covered around 4 mi today if my math is straight (math never was my best subject).

Today's run was a bit more challenging too b/c it had just stopped raining when I went, so the roads were wet and a bit slick. Then of course, I ran in rain to get home. I do hope it won't be raining tomorrow morning.
