April 15, 2011 - group run update

I think I hit a milestone yesterday at group run.  We did our usual 1.5 mile - because I have been working on 2.5 miles, I have become more stronger.  Im pretty happy with that.  Im still walking a lot but I am doing a lot more running.  Next week is 2.5 miles with 3 min run/2 min walk.  I definitely have to up my milage on the treadmill to 35 minutes.   Because Saturday will be the 1st time doing 3 min run/2 min walk I plan on doing a lot of jumping off the treadmill.  I also plan on doing my 2.5 incline for a minute (I might tack on 15 seconds to that incline).  My heart rate has been going up to 165-170 while doing the treadmill work.  So for cooldown I get on the stationary bike and do about 10 minutes with 6 resistance for 5 minutes slow and 5 min no resistance. 
Because I did such a great job and getting stronger, I pushed the sider to 20% progress.  I deserved a boost on progress made. 
Weekend plan:
Tomorrow is treadmill workout day (its suppose to rain) and Sunday is my 3.5 miler walk (I mapped a route on Active.com that Bri most graciously gave me the site to).
