So, our work sponsored wellness group is having a 5k training class for the next 4 weeks on Tuesdays after work. I decided it might be beneficial for me to sign up and see if I could get some pointers from the coach.
I went yesterday and our only "task" was to do one mile around the track behind the office. I had decided that since I'm doing fairly well in the program that I'd let that be my W7D2 and no one would be the wiser.
But I knew. Yesterday I went home and did chores and went to bed, but this morning I couldn't live with the guilt any longer so I got my hinny out of bed at 4:50 and went to the gym, did W7D2, and felt fairly decent afterwards.
This time I left my pace at 4.5 and around the 10 minute mark bumped up to 4.6. I had decided when I got to the 20 minute mark I would bump up my speed to 5.0 to see what might happen. That left me running for the last 5 minutes, and while it was completely awful, it wasn't fun either. So I'm thinking tomorrow I might bump up to 5.0 at the halfway point and see what happens.
So, laugh at Brandy opportunity of the week: while I was in the shower this morning at the gym after my workout, I realized I had forgotten to pack the shirt I had picked out to wear to work. It was either 10 minutes to Wal-mart or 25 back home for a shirt....So I had to put my smelly work out shirt back on and go in Wal-Mart to try to find something decent to wear to work. I was only 10 minutes or so late for work, which I guess, is better than 30, but I didn't have time to dry my hair so my head looks like a fluffy hot mess today.
Anyway....5k is in 24 days!!!!
I think I can, I think I can, I think I can....
