So after my little shoe fiasco, I went home found the shoe put on my gym clothes and headed to the gym for the run. I really wasn’t feeling it, but decided I needed to go anyway, no excuses!
So I get on the treadmill and I’m really dreading the first run. I decide to just take it easy go at an easy pace since I knew this run was a lot more running then I was used to. So the first 3 minute run starts and surprisingly I find it easy! Now just last Friday when I was doing this same interval I thought it was so hard! I took it a little slower then my usual pace and really focused on breathing. I came out of the 3 minutes feeling pretty good! I was even more scared of the first 5 minute run, but again it seemed to pass fairly easy! I think I will enjoy listening to my own music once I get done with the program, as I did find the music a little grading on this weeks podcasts, but other than that, I came through the 5 minute fairly nicely albeit a bit tired! I did the recovery and did the second round of runs and this is where I found it a bit more difficult.. especially the last 5 minute! But I pushed through, and really pushed the last minute of running. I was pretty proud of myself when I finished that run! I can actually start seeing the progress and really see that yes, I will be able to do the 5K!
In other news I have no Yoga until January now and I really miss it. I have some podcasts that I mean to do, from yogamazing. http://www.yogamazing.com. They even have one for runners which I will probably try on Thursday. They also have a morning one which I should really start doing to get me moving in the morning! But I haven’t got myself out of bed early enough for that yet! I do some yoga poses after the runs which I find are really great for stretching out. I never thought I would be one of those yoga people, but I have to admit it’s balanced out nicely with the running.
Cheers,
Jenn
