W5D1: I felt great today. I went with Tim to the canal for his long run day. I knew he was planning for about 80 minutes out running, so I planned to do my regular workout, which was scheduled to take 52 minutes and then do another 20-30 minutes walking. Once I really got into the workout, I was feeling great. I turned off my app at the end of the 52 minutes, but kept on going. My "walk" back to the car turned into a free form run. So unofficially, I did 4.5 miles in 74 minutes. I ran all 33 minutes of the work out, plus an additional 12 on the way back to the car to give me 45 minutes total running today! My legs are feeling great now, and I'm hoping I didn't ruin them for tomorrow.

W5D2: I had a lot of fun on this run. I picked up my parents dog, Eddie, and took him with me to the canal. He had a blast and so did I. It took us a little while to get the hang of running together, but he seemed so happy trotting beside me. It was pretty hot, though, and my body is still adjusting to that.
Distance: 3.11 mi Duration: 52:39 mins Avg Speed: 3.54/mph Avg Pace: 16:56 min/mi
W5D3: Ugh, this was a miserable run. I had taken two days off, but my muscles and legs just ached. I just wanted it to be over as soon as I had started. It was hot, too. My thyroid symptoms seem very elevated this week, so that wasn't helping anything. It was definitely a victory just to finish type of run. Hoping for a better run week during week 6!!
