10:34!!! Getting closer! I am a bit sad that I couldn't do it in 10. I even tried to run longer on the last few sprints but was so winded I had to slow it down....

Jon is going to do the treadmill with me on Friday and do the same intervals as I do. His cardio is better than mine but his knees are worse- it will be interesting to see what happens!

I kept running afterwards again....

 1 mile done in 10:31!!!! Yeah!!!

I know the marathon is going to need endurance, not intervals, so I kept going for the next 10 minutes. A decent jog (5.5mph) and a fast walk when I was gasping (3.5mph)
