5K Training - Week 1 Recap

My first week of training for the 5K race has gone well. Including today, I will have done 4 running sessions this week. I missed Thurday's tempo run, but still, it's a good first week training start. I did my speed work on Monday, a 2 mile run on Wednesday, and I did my long run (5 miles at 6mph - 50 minutes) yesterday. The long run half killed me. Maybe I ran too fast for my current cardiovascular ability. I think a lot of running involves mental discipline, though. Today, is my 30 minute easy run. It's supposed to be an active recovery day. So, that will wind down the week of training.
