Day 1 Week 2

I settled on a good program that will work for me. I found it on this site-http://www.marathonrookie.com/
It is under the 5K tab.
I am doing week 1 again, so my goal for today was a fifteen minute run/walk. I didn't understand what a run/walk was, but I found the answer to that on this site-http://www.jeffgalloway.com/training/walk_breaks.html
I also found out that you are only supposed to increase mileage by 10% weekly. Good to know.
So the 15 minute run/walk went good. I was able to go about 1 3/5 miles. When I got home I stretched good, but I forgot to drink water. I read that you only have two hours to replace the water that you loose when you work out. I still haven't gotten around to drinking water, and it is five hours later-whew. I better get on that.
Tomorrows goal is 2 miles. and my personal goal is to keep it under 20 minutes!
I love running!
