Sena trains on her own during the week, then does her long run with me on the weekend. She has added half a mile each week and is up to 4 miles in 2 weeks. I have to say, I'm quite impressed this week.
Today she ran a hilly course (see below), which was a half mile longer than last week, at a faster pace than last week (11:59 average pace). She took walk breaks when she needed them, but ran very steady the rest of the time. 
Her breathing was much better since last week. By the end of the run, she felt like she had pushed herself about as far as she comfortably could by the time we got back to the car. It will be very interesting to see her progress by the end of the year.
I am so stoked that she is taking it seriously and being very consistent in her training (every other day). A bit of a trick is to do a 2 week cycle, which means one week you run mon, wed, fri, sun, then tue, thu, sat. That way you make sure you get a rest day in between each run.
