Day 5 Exercise

I ran a little more than a mile, walked a little less than a mile, and then ran a little more than a mile again.  Basically, I have a route that is a 5k.  I start out walking for a couple minutes to warm up.  Then I run to a designated point that is a mile, but each time I run or every other time I try to run just a little further, like ot the next light post.  Then, I walk up to the halfway point, turn around and walk back to where I stopped running.  Then, I run back to where I started running just outside my neighborhood, and then I walk home for my cool down. 
I shortened my time by about 5 minutes today so that felt good but it felt REALLY tough to run the second stretch today.  I don't know what it is but my legs are just not strong.  My lungs don't really get tired, just my legs.  I wish I could go to a gym and do some strength training for my legs.  I remember as a kid when I would run my legs wouldn't get tired but my lungs would.  Now its the opposite.  I am hoping that means my lungs and heart are in good shape:)
