I know it's not a lot but I never run after a grave, but I had to work again tonight so my logic was get up and run a little and hopefully wake up out of my sleep deprived stupor.  I did one mile and at a good pace for me 11:30, I was working hard but not overdoing it.  I think it worked I am doing okay!

It was interrupted though to stop sword fights and such.

Ha! I love it, "It was interrupted though to stop sword fights and such" I can totally relate...although not so much sword fights, just a lot of pushing and crying and stealing toys. Way to get something in no matter what! I am interested to watch your progress.

Good job! Just keep plugging away! We are here to support you. Unfortunately we can't help you out on the sleep and the sword fights!

One is better than zero, and it adds up. You can run very well off only one mile a day but done six days a week. Of course, more would be better, but this regimen takes you a long way. My son has run as fast as 25:34 5 K in the Salt Lake Classic at the age of 6 off that type of training, and he was holding his pace on the last mile, and in fact, passing other runners.
