On the advice of Jason, Shawn, and Angela I switched to Hal Higdon's 5K plan. I wasn't giving myself enough rest on the 5 day thing and mentally I was done. So changing to a 3 day a week plan helped in both areas. I started in the middle of week 7 (counting down). I ran 1.5 miles today which is less than I've been running but I was able to run faster and when the end was in sight I was able to go even faster. On my old plan, I went a certain length of time no matter how far I went so there was no motivation to push myself. This is all around better for me. And I don't have to run on Walmart day! Thanks to those three for taking an interest in my running.
