Day Three

Work out: Run 1 min Walk 2 min x10
Route: Same as Day One.

This too place yesterday, but I came home stretched for what felt like forever, cooked and just wanted to relax. I hadn't slept much the night before.

It wasn't as bad as Monday. Actually, I survived the entire thing without feeling too terrible. No thoughts of needing to be towed entered my mind. The toughest parts were the hills..which is understandable I think. This time, I didn't start to feel it till the 7th rep. Not bad! If I did feel like crap in a run, I focused on something else, my breathing, my stride, my pace. It helped me out. Granted they are only short minute runs...and as of right now I'm not sure how much longer I could focus on my breathing. But this workout is supposed to slowly bring you up to being able to run for 30 continuous minutes. And I think I've accepted the fact that it's not going to be an easy battle. It's gonna hurt, and I'll feel like crap, but eventually I'll get to the point, where it doesn't and it's always been part of me. Tonight's work out is another walk...so I'll be back with updates on that.
