Week 4!

Last Saturday (week 4) we ran/walked 4 miles. Now we are following the official training pace. In my pace group, we jog for 1 minute and then walk for 3 minutes throughout the whole "run". I think the fastest pace group jogs for 7 minutes and walks for 1.

Anyway, Michael and I were both elected pace group "leaders" for our respective groups. That means we have to get there early to get instructions (to find out what course we are running for the day - for example). It also means that we keep track of time, remind people to drink water, and make sure that everyone in the group is OK.

In other news, I'm having a bit of knee trouble (right knee). I visited an orthopedic/sports medicine Dr. last week and had an MRI today. I’ll know the results next week. The Dr. said it was OK to keep training - I should just stop and walk if the pain is bad and take Aleve or Advil. So far so good …
