It was difficult trying to get back on a training plan. I like the regimen of having a plan, but I hate the feeling of guilt if I miss a scheduled run.
I also find it difficult to adjust to the "minute" goals, rather than have set mileage.
It also really bugs me how much pain I feel when I run - and it's never consistent.
I'd really like to focus on improving my speed & endurance over the weeks to come. I'm not fast. I don't know if I will ever be able to maintain an 8 minute mile for more than 1 mile. It seems so unachievable!
How's your training going?
If you're not presently training, do you have any fitness goals?

Nicely done! I think I would have a hard time getting use to the minutes versus mileage too.
Great job following your plan this week! I'm having a hard time adjusting to a plan, but I think the mileage is a neat idea!
:)
