Week 6 Day 2....So close!

W6D2 really wasn't that bad yesterday. It looked like this:

5 minute warm up, 10 min jog, 3 min walk, 10 min jog, 5 min cool down

I really think that second 10 min jog was actually 30 minutes or so. I didn't think it was ever going to end.

But, the lungs behaved for the most part, and the legs did just fine. The whole problem for me is in my head.

Starting tomorrow (25 minutes! eek!) there are no more walking breaks at all. It's warm up, jog forever, cool down. In a way I'm actually kind of looking forward to it. I think I'm going to find a good half hour show on Netflix and immerse myself in mindless TV and see if that helps me make it through. I might give that a shot tomorrow to see how it goes.

Just as long as the show isn't funny or sad I should be ok. I can't even talk or swallow when I'm running, much less laugh or cry....

I really hope that during those final weeks I can work on my time a little. As luck would have it my job is offering 5k training as a part of our wellness program, so I'm going to check that out next week and see if they can give me some pointers.

I'm pretty excited about what the next month has in store. Week 7 is 25 minutes, 8 is 28 minutes and 9 is 30 minutes. Like I've mentioned before, 30 minutes is no where enough time for me, so I think I'm going to tack on a week 10 to the end there and see if I can't do 35 minutes....Because the last day of week 10 is THE BIG DAY. It's getting close and I can't wait!!

31 more days!!

EEEEK!

I can't wait to start working on my outfit. In honor of the theme of the 5k itself, The Neon Vibe, my team and I have named ourselves The Rainbow Brite Coalition. We're going to be fabulous, to say the least.

Anyway, 31 days!! :D :D :D
