One step forward, one step backward

R3/W2 , 4.6m in 67 min. One extra minute.Which I had thought to cut off this week. 14.5minmile pace. Wanted to be 14minmile by this weekend. Still might be if try really hard on thursday.

GB bought some new watch which can be set at intervals. She set it for R3/W2 and I think we had been already doing the R3 but taking longer breaks than the W2. So now we have a routine to follow. But this seemed a bit difficult today, we were out of breath by the last 3 min. And its very irritating to hear that beep-beep to push us to start running, I am sure I will start having nightmares about that soon. As long as it pushes us to try harder, I am all for it.
It might take us another few days to sort out our comfortable routine.Tho comfort is still walking at a snails pace.

Walk tomorrow, R/W on thurs,LSD 23 miles on Sat!!
