Today I ran another 2 miles. This time in 24:20. My warm-up was not included in this time (I re-set the time and miles after I warmed up). I passed mile 1 at 11:53 - under 12 minutes, which I'm excited about! I made it 1.5 miles staying at 5 mph or higher (18 minutes), but then walked 2 minutes at 4 mph. I finished the last .3 miles at a 5, ending at 24:20.
My "running plan" is to stay at 5 mph for as long as I can until I can run 2 miles without stopping. When I can do the full 2 miles at a 5, I'll bump it up and stay at a 5.1 for 25 minutes, and keep bumping it up a tenth of a mile for those 25 minutes. That will gradually give me a longer run. Hopefully that'll help me speed up. On the weekend I'll not worry so much about speed and just work on distance since I'm running a 5k in June.
