I actually did this Tuesday, but I just realized I never posted about it.
This week got *much* harder. As always, it starts with a 5-minute warm-up. Then jog 1.5 minutes, walk 1.5 minutes (not so bad, right? just wait . . .). Then, jog 3 minutes(!) and walk 3 minutes. Repeat that pattern. I did the same paces as I had before - 13:02 for the jogging and 16:39 for the walking. The time only adds up to 18 minutes (as opposed to 20 for the last round) so I only went 1.22 miles.
13 minute miles is our goal for Disney, but Alec says I should still try to be faster for a 5K. So, next time I'm going to try to kick the running up 1 notch on the speed next time I run - I am going to try to go tonight, and then Sunday.

Way to Go, Catherine!
Just keep jogging along... and soon it will be much easier... and... even enjoyable!
To test out a speed increase... try upping the pace for 10-15 seconds... then return to your regular pace... it's a nice way to add in a bit of interval work and to see how you'd feel running just a bit faster...
Watch your mailbox for purple socks!!!
