Week 5 turned up the run/walk ratio intensity to much more running than walking.  The 2nd run was 8 mins running, 5 mins walking, 8 mins running...while the final run was just a solid 20 minutes of running with no break!  That is quite honestly the longest that I've ever run straight and I actually felt like I could keep going...I hit some kind of stride in the last 5 minutes.

My runs are coming with ease now and I find that i'm able to push my speed since I have no concerns of finishing strong.  Only one more week of run/walk/run before the last 3 weeks of the program are long runs and gradually building my endurance to 3 miles without a break.  Wish me luck :)
