Oops...I did it again
You know what they say about the best laid plans and all that? Well, I intended to go running this weekend. It would have been my first outside run. But life got in the way. I was supposed to walk for 5 minutes and then run for 20. I confess that I was a bit concerned about this and perhaps the reason I didn't run was because I was intimidated by the idea of running for 20 minutes straight. But because I didn't run for 4 days, when I got on the treadmill today and looked down at my ipod KNOWING that I was supposed to do week 5, day 3...I totally chickened out. Instead, I ran week 5 day 2...again. BUT, I did it faster then I did last time AND instead of walking for 5 minutes at the end, I walked for 90 seconds, ran for another 90 and then finished with a 90 second walk. Don't worry, I still had to walk HOME from the gym...so I got in a 5 minute cool down. I have intentions of doing week 5 day 3 at some point. I'm thinking it might be at the end of the week. Maybe. I'm intimidated by the 20 minute run. That's a big leap from the 60 seconds I began this whole adventure with. But, I know it will feel SOOOOO good to be abel to say, "I did it!". So....we'll see.
