2 and 3/4 weeks in to the training plan and still going strong. We are still doing a run/walk method in these early stages of training and from the reading I've been doing this is a good way for us to go. Right now we run 3 minutes and walk 3 minutes for 5 cycles. The idea is we decrease the amount of time walking over the coming weeks until we can run 30 minutes without walking. It's a little hard to imagine that right now but that's still several weeks away.
We had a good family friend join our little group today. Elizabeth has decided to train with us and says she wants to run the Seattle R&R with us in June. She's a little more speedy than Lisa and me so she ran with Nate but we're glad to have her with us.
Our local trail that we have been running on got flooded when the Snohomish River went over its banks earlier this week. So we had to run on the Centennial Trail in Snohomish on Tuesday but we were able to get back on the river trail today although there are still some pretty wet places we had to deal with. Personally I prefer the Centennial trail, it's wider, nicer, smoother and doesn't feel as claustrophobic to me. It's also considerably longer than the river trail. I imagine in a couple weeks our distance will have increased to the point where we will outgrow the river trail but for now it's nice and close to home and works for us.
