Day 5: The Smoke screen.

If I hadn’t known any better this morning I would have thought a heavy fog had settled around Jacksonville this morning as I got up to run, but of course it was smoke. There are a lot of wild fires burning burning in and around Northeast Florida currently, but until this morning I really haven't felt the effects or even noticed the smell all that badly.  Today however, my car was dusted with ash and breathing was a little bit of a chore, but I got through it and finished my run.  Again my knee was stiff this morning, but warmed up around the 10 min mark and I felt much better toward the end.  My times have slowed down but I don’t really care at this point.  I’m really just happy that I’ve been able to do it for 5 straight days.  I’m going to finish out this week with the same running pattern 1 min run 1 min walk, and then starting next week, I’m going to run for 2 min run then 1 min walk.  I’ll do a min increase for every week until I get to 5 min, and by then I should be in good enough shape to just keep running straight through.  I’m also going to try and add a long day once a week of at least 30 min.
