Day 4

Last Thursday was day four of training. Just to clear things up, because I was playing 'catch up' to get on the same schedule as Mandy & Lisa, day four for me was actually their Week 2, Day 3. The schedule we are following is three running days a week (Sun., Tues., & Thurs.)..so the first two weeks I actually only ran 2 days...instead of three like them. But now we are all on the same page. :)

So day four for me was the end of week two and I felt like I was really kicking ass! Again, very surprised I was keeping up and actually felt like I could really run at a pretty decent rate. Granted it was still a pretty easy run;

"Brisk five minute warm-up walk. Then alternate 90 seconds of jogging and two minutes of walking for a total of 20 minutes."

But I still felt really good about it. I was starting to feel like the faster I ran, the less tired I felt...which doesn't really make sense, but that's how I felt. Lisa even joked for me to wait for them at the end of the run because I started to pull away a bit. If the entire 9 weeks was comprised of this, it would be no big deal...but I'd soon find out that the jump from Week 2 to 3 would seriously kick my butt....
