I have a goal... it may not be lofty to some, but to me it kinda is.

I used to run a six minute mile in grade nine. That was many years ago, and six minutes wasn't a lot then, really... but at least I completed it. Today, a six minute mile is out of the question, for now, anyway.

I want to complete 5k in a short period of time. Not sure on a goal time yet, but my first goal is to do it non-stop running.

Here's how today panned out on the treadmill:

Distance: 3.1 miles
Time: 42:10 - this included a five minute walking warm up. I alternated 3.5mph walk with a 5.5mph run. I am pleased to report it was mostly running today.

HR: top was 145bpm

With a four minute cool down my total distance was 3.31 miles. I burned 435 calories.

I followed that mess up with 13/12 burpees and medicine ball slams (11lbx20x3) and some stretching.

We'll see what my knees think of today tomorrow.
