Day 2

Was much harder then day one! :) Probably because my body was still aching..but that's what happens when it's not used to excersize of any kind.

But I still give myself credit for going out there and running..even as my body protested.

Friday night I ran by myself around the high school track. Which was much more boring then the first night running with Mandy at the lake. I did have my iPod, which helped a bit, but it was alot harder to time myself and make sure I was running according to the recommended Week 1 plan: 60 seconds of running, 90 seconds walking, repeat 8 times.

I really need to invest in a stop watch of some sort.

I was totally prepared to feel even more crappy come Saturday morning...I really thought I'd be hurting big time after the second run, but surprisingly, I felt great the next morning. Perfectly fine! Almost like I hadn't run the night before...but I promise I did!

I technically still have one day left in Week 1...but Mandy is already two days into Week 2 and if I'm going to run with her I might jump on over to the next week tonight. Week 2 consists of 90 seconds of running, followed by 2 minutes of walking; repeat 8 times.

This might pose a bit of a challenge for me, but I'm up for it. Why else would I be putting myself through this torture!

  1. Google C25K podcasts. There are quite a few podcasts with different types of music to help you time yourself. The track is definitely more boring, but the music keeps me a little more motivated! I go with David, but we're at different paces - so being with somebody, even at a different pace - makes it a little better.
