Stepping it up...

Now that I have signed up for my first official 5k on October 16th, I need to step things up a bit. I want to be able to finish the 3 miles as easily as possible. I am going to try Bridge to 10k. Run 10 min/walk 1 min Repeat x 4. I think I will probably end up running about 3.5 miles in that time which will be more than I have been doing. Going to try a more leisurely pace so that I don't burn out after 2 or 3 intervals. I figure that if I get used to running closer to 4 miles, running 3.1 will feel easy. At least that is my hope.
