Day Six

Workout: Run 2 Min, Walk 1 Min Repeat 10 times.
Route: From my apartment, down Benner to Cedar Lane to Route 27 back down to Benner and Home

I was not ready for this. I actually thought I would quit. Two minutes sounds like nothing. It's 120 seconds, it seems so insignificant. But when you feel your lungs burning it becomes a monstrous. I don't understand how anyone can run for 2 continuous hours...I could barely run for two continuous minutes. It was intense. In the beginning, I thought it was nothing. The first three laps felt like nothing. Even by the fourth repetition, I thought soon I'd get my second wind and be able to do this. I didn't know five, six and seven would bring on trouble. Andrew had intense cramps, I felt like my lungs were on fire, but we both persisted and made it. I got a second wind around the eighth repetition. Realizing that it was just four more minutes, made me move on. I didn't want to give up, I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it...and I did. I was very happy.

But now, Wednesday is making me flip out. That's a three minute run...I could barely handle two...an extra minute might be the death of me! Wish me luck! Five more runs till number 9 and though I thought I'd by sneakers, I think this week if I do all the runs, I'm getting myself a visor! That sun is intense and my hair get so annoying!!
