Running to a 5k

Today was another day of running. It was way too hot to do the whole thing. We were supposed to run 3 minutes, walk 90 seconds, run 5 minutes, walk 2.5 min, run 3 min, walk 90 sec, run 5 min. At the 2.5 minutes Kara had shooting pains and had to stop. I walked a bit longer and tried to run some more. I managed another 3 minutes and had to stop. This was around 11:30am and it was blazing hot. There was no way we could have run the whole thing when the temps today have been close to 100 degrees. Plus I've been having problems with both of my knees so I hope they get better by this weekend. We did what we could and I know we'll do better come Saturday, early morning this time. :D

Wow! 100 degrees is too hot to run. I don't like running anyway but do like walking and even fast walking.

Thanks for visiting my blog.

At least you got out there and tried. Way to go, but be very careful during the hot weather. I'm in California and it is HOT here.

Hopefully Saturday morning will be much better. It's supposed to get in the 90s then too :P But should be in the 60s while we are running so that will be nice!
