So my plan to do a paced walk/run on Friday after work was canceled by scattered thunderstorms…so I did it this morning! I forgot how hard this was. I did a 5 min Warm-Up, 30 min paced walk/run, and a 10 min Cool-Down. Now to set foot on the road that goes by my house is to take your life into your own hands, but we live on 13 acres of land with a 1/2 mile path around the perimeter. Some of it’s forested, some is open field, some is up hill, some is down hill. None of it is paved, so it’s easy on the joints and harder on the muscles. When I finished the work-out portion, I had gone about 2.05 miles. So that makes about 14:38/mile pace. Not bad, but I’m glad I don’t have to do it again until Tuesday!
Great job!

Sorry you were derailed by storms yesterday, but way to go on getting out this morning!!! Safety first! You are so lucky to live on land!!!! That really helps! And that’s fantastic cross training while running! We run on a paved trail, but it has lots of hills and some really long pulls. So it works the body differently than just running flats. Way to go!!!!!!!!!
Great job @RocketEAR99! So nice you have that path to go on, keep it up!
@eeyorepoohfan you guys are amazing! You did great, and gave yourself a nice cushion on time!
Way to rock it superstar! 
@RIDisneyPinGuy I’m glad you’re finally feeling better .
Hey everyone, if you go to the running playlist thread there is a download link there which will let you download about 8 hrs of running music, as well as some iPhone and android Disney ringtones.
THANKS!
OK. So my plan was to drag my oldest out of bed this morning to join me for a run around the reservoir, but things just didn’t work out. So, I hit the treadmill instead. Did the run/walk thing for a mile and then put incline to 1.0 and almost ran the entire second mile. Total time to finish the 2 miles was 24:22. I’m really going to try to get out to run in the morning this week. I’m so curious to see how my time will change not getting pushed along by the treadmill.
Had some trouble still with my breathing pattern though. Just don’t have it down yet. I seem to want to exhale for more steps than I inhale! Trying the 3-2 pattern but it was more like 2-2 today….or even 2-3 at times.
Hopefully I’ll get more comfortable so I can spend less time thinking about breathing and more time just letting my mind get lost in the run.
I’ve never monitored my breathing while I run. I just try to make my breathing as calm as possible and not to hyperventilate. If I feel short of breath I will breathe deeply and hold it for a few seconds.
I never used to but now that I’m “older”
I seem to struggle more with catching my breath. And I’m not even running long distance!

@missingwdw I never used to but now that I’m “older”
I seem to struggle more with catching my breath. And I’m not even running long distance! You can’t be that much younger than me
Today is the first morning I didn’t wake up feeling worse than I went to sleep. Here is hoping tomorrow I can finally start working out again!
Glad your feeling better bud
