5k training

run twice a week, total distance 6-8 miles.

if i run twice in a week outdoors, everything gets really sore so i usually don't do that. just once a week is fine for me.

outdoors: 2.2 miles up the parkway to fountain drive and then back. i usually just jog this because it's usually so nice and relaxing. i'm aiming to be able to do this in less than 45 minutes though. 4.4 miles.

indoors: 20 minutes running on a high incline treadmill and then a 20 minutes fast run on a moderate incline. i hate treadmills though; it's so boring and i'm afraid i'll fall off if i keep my eyes on the tv too long. this is roughly 3.5 to 4 miles. i've never lasted the whole 20 minute fast run though.

i'm hoping for a better time at the university city 5k. it's got a really interesting route that i've never run before. i think i liked last year's route better where they went from drexel u to roughly city hall and turned back around.

i have no explanation for why i do this to myself.
