43 & damp…
A very cold run this morning. My muscles are still pretty tight from Friday, so it took some time to warm up. The first two 1/4 mile runs were tough & I stopped to walk in the middle of both of them (20 steps both times). Continued with my mini-runs throughout the next mile & then realized at the turn-around point that if I walked out another 15 minutes, I could tack an additional 1/2 hour onto my time. That’s another 1/2 gold star & that’s what it’s all about.
The extra walk also meant that I wasn’t doing the C25K program throughout the whole of down town, which was nice. Also nice: while the first two quarter miles almost killed me, all I had to do was start the first 60-second run of the podcast to know that I could do it & do it pretty easily today. & those 60-seconds felt pretty short, so I think I’ll be ready to move on to week two after Wednesday’s run.
Going to keep with this plan of 2 1/4 mile runs & then mini-runs for 2 miles followed by the C25K program, but that might change when the weeks get tougher.
Okay, I’ve been slacking off all weekend, so it’s beyond time to start getting my todo list done.
Happy day chicks! I hope it’s warm where you are & the perfect weather where tiny2b is running!
Update: got some actual stuff accomplished today! & added in an after-dinner walk with hubby…only 30 mins, though. I’m beat!
HI, I just read your last three updates and you’ve been doing great! Keep it up!
The ole’ couch to 5k. Sometimes you want to kill that podcast guy, and sometimes you want to make out with him (or at least hug him enthusiastically).
