2014 Doug Flutie 5K Training (Week 1)

Last year I couldn't run the Doug Flutie 5K because I was traveling. This year I will run it for the second time. With only 71 day's left to get ready I figured I better put my sneakers on and get moving.

There are a lot of training guides to help you prepare for a 5K like  this one. I am going to see how I feel today after I try to run 1 mile and then try to tailor my schedule to that. I plan to make weekly updates of my progress in the chart below. I work out Tuesday's and Thursday's at work doing the Bravo Ignite so I will need to factor that into my schedule

I would love to beat my previous 5k time of 31:12. I'd also like to keep up with Dan who only beat my by a few minutes last time.

Wish me luck. After all it is for a great cause; fighting autism and supporting a great charity. For more information visit the Doug Flutie Foundation, or Doug Flutie 5k Info and Sign-up page

7/25: 1.42 miles in 13:11. Avg/Mi 9:17. It was a good run. I felt pretty good and ran a full mile before walking for a few. I didn't walk for long and finished off the last 1/3 with a good pace. If I can run a full 5k at that pace I will already beat my time from the last race.
