We're planning to try and stay in our current place for another year or two, so maybe we'll change things up a little a few months down the road. (Hello Christmas Presents?!)<br /><br />For Running Plans, Hal Higdon (I think that's who it is) who created C25K also has a 10k plan (which assumes you can run 30 minutes). You may wanna check that out.

One suggestion...it looks like the green art/tree painting is larger than the piece before and because of this, I would switch which side of the TV the plant/vase is on. It looks a little crowded on the left side now, but think it would balance out perfect if you took the decor and swapped sides.

Doing that you can really get to any distance you want. For my 13.1, I just increased mileage every week on my "long run" days. But you could do half mile increments if your more comfortable with that. For the distance, I'd keep the same pace or alternate paces. That's what I do. I run one-tenth of a mile at 7.0 mph then one at 7.5 then one at 8.0. Trying to get that 8 min mile!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11628257640308714480noreply@blogger.com
