Miles Ran: 1.0
Miles Walked: 1.5
Last night's workout was... interesting. I'm learning that when I walk, my legs hurt more, and when I run, my endurance/lungs hurts more. I definitely am going to look into new shoes this weekend to see if that helps with the hurting legs. (It's mostly in the shin and calf areas.)
Apparently there is a run/walk method for marathons. I'm not sure if it is just for training, or if you would actually do it in the marathon as well. I'm also not really sure if there is a certain ratio of run to walk, or if you just do your own intervals. I'll have to check. In any case, it's really hard to switch between running and walking on the treadmill—I end up taking breaks whenever I switch from run to walk, but then again maybe that's a good thing! :)
Today is a day of rest—I'm exhausted and I am happy to hear that days of rest are important for your training. Right now I am trying to work up to full-on running for 30 minutes at a time, and then I will start the real training schedule...
