5K-W5-D3

I should really be beginning week 6, but I missed a day last week, so I am finishing out week 5. I've been pretty terrible at keeping up with making my daily entries.
I've been running for 3 minutes and walking for 1 for a few weeks now. I started out with running 5 intervals and increased it to 6 and today I increased it to 7 intervals. Last week I was feeling pretty good as I had previously just been able to complete one lap around the track in 3 minutes but last week I was able to run past the lap mark for 10 seconds before reaching 3 minutes.
Today wasn't as great. I was struggling to make it around in 3 minutes. But it may have something to do with not having a little something before I go running. Both time last week I had a quick bite (half a banana or half of an orange) before heading out but I forgot to do that this morning and I felt so sluggish. So I'll try eating again before heading out on Wednesday and see if that helps.
