Week 5 day 1

I was supposed to do w5d1 yesterday, BUT....I was super busy and really just didn't have any time. So, I thought it would be awesome to get up and go this morning before I got ready for church. WRONG. It was terrible.

Things I learned today:

1. Running on an empty stomach first thing in the morning is a BAD idea.
2. Come to think of it, running first thing in the morning was the worst idea I've had in a while.
3. Thursday is getting closer. Thursday = my first 20 minute long jog. Oy. My legs hurt already.

My head was not in it at all today but I did manage to make it through just fine. Finally got my breathing issues under control, and now my legs are having a hard time keeping up. My old lady hips tend to want to give up about halfway through...

I'm still waiting for the day to come when I can come home from a run and feel great and super energized like all the other deranged people out there that enjoy running. Currently when I come home, I really just want to go to bed or turn into a blob on the couch.

41 days until the race. 41 days for me to get it together. If I don't have to repeat this week, I am on track to finish the program by September 27. By the end I'm supposed to be able to jog for 30 minutes straight, which is still not 3.1 miles, so I'm going to have to use that extra week to figure out how to run for an extra 10 minutes or so. Hopefully once it cools down and I get outside and start wogging it will be easier...I'm counting on that, so I really hope I'm not wrong.....

Thanks for stopping by....until next time!
