Rethinking Training (with a little help from my friends)

As I'm looking into braving the chill (damn chill!) of the outdoors today to get a jog in, I thought I'd take up my pal Emily's offer to calculate a training schedule.
2010-04-27: 10 20 30
2010-05-04: 11 22 33
2010-05-11: 12 24 36
2010-05-18: 13 26 39
2010-05-25: 10 21 31
2010-06-01: 13 27 41
2010-06-08: 15 30 45
2010-06-15: 16 33 50
2010-06-22: 13 26 40
I can still go out for my 30 minutes total (longer on my slow run days, right Emily?), but I can walk when I'm not jogging - or at least, I think that's the way I plan it. Last week I did 1x30min and 1x20 min, and walked a fair amount during the week. Today, I might set up to do 10 minutes walk, 11 minutes run, and 9 minutes walk to get me through the end. It sounds about what I'm up for today, and will get me out there, which will be better than me continuing to just sit on the bench.

The sun is out - so perhaps it's time to go out for a jog, eh?
