5 minutes walking
3 minutes jogging/2 minutes walking x 3
2 minute break to fill up my water bottle, stretch and have a quick drink
2 minutes jogging then I crapped out, might’ve been more like 2:30
10 minutes walking

Total time: 32 minutes
Total mileage: finally going up after being stalled for a while, but still no pedometer. Cleaning my room, so it’ll turn up.

It was about 95 degrees out when I did this workout, with very little shade on about two thirds of my course, and amazingly, I felt pretty great. Drank the fluids I needed to, and I really don’t mind the heat. Best workout of the week. Ran until I started feeling some minor soreness in my calves and shins, then walked it out the rest of the way. Iced my left calf for 10 minutes when I got home, no Advil or the like, and I feel great now.

I’m still not doing the entirety of the recommended workout yet, but that’s fine, because I am making progress and feeling better. I’ll stick with my current workout level until I can get past it comfortably and easily, then move on.
