A new week is here! I got some good rest over the weekend, including nursing that dag'gum blister on my heel as well as a muscle strain in my right calf. I felt like this week's workouts would be a bit "easier" than last week's as the intervals of walking and running seemed more manageable. I say, "easier," because it is still challenging, it's just a little less challenging than last week. Well boy was I surprised!! The workout was effectively easier than last week, and the running portions seemed to be over much quicker. But three minutes is a long time when you're running!!
The weather was a bit cooler today, so at least it made for optimal running conditions. Still hot in the sun though...
I started off strong, like always, and decided to take the high school route again. I mapped the route on the computer and discovered that it's about 2 miles round trip. I reached the half-way point faster than I thought I would, and my legs were burning, but I was feeling good. Once the 4th running interval was over, I knew I had done it. It was hard, but I was proud that I didn't quit, once again. "1 minute remaining!" said my C25K trainer, and I did my own personal fist-pump because I was basically done. All that was left was cool down. One of my favorite songs from RENT ("Out Tonight") came on just as I was starting the cool-down, and I danced all the way to my front door.
I am so ready for Week 3 Day 2!!
And just remember....
