Week 2, Day 3

The Week 2, Day 3 regimen looks like this:

Brisk 5-minute warm-up walk
Alternate 90 seconds of jogging with 2 minutes of walking
5-minute cool down walk

Today's weather: Sunny, 81F, light breeze
Route: Home - Ida Baker - Home, 2.39 miles

When I left for my run today I didn't anticipate it going well. I had an awful stomachache. I felt like I had swallowed a brick. I was tired, I was cranky after a rough day at school and all around just feeling really sad for myself. The five minute walk sucked, I'm not going to lie. I just wasn't in the mood. I fought with myself to keep going. Then the countdown for the run started and all of the sudden I felt amazing. Once I started running it all went away, the pain, the tiredness, the crankiness. GONE. Today was so EASY. I am shocked, truly, and I feel so good and happy. Yea exercise endorphins!

Now the exciting part, on to Week 3. I am feeling a little intimidated. I'm going from measuring my runs in seconds to measuring my runs in minutes now! EEK!

Week 2, Day 3: COMPLETE!

Onwards to Week 3!!!!
