Goal: Brisk five-minute warmup walk, then do two repetitions of the following:
- Jog 200 yards (or 90 seconds)
- Walk 200 yards (or 90 seconds)
- Jog 400 yards (or 3 minutes)
- Walk 400 yards (or three minutes)
The title is my attempt to describe my feeling right now after completing the first day of week three. WOOMPH! It was tough..... BUT I DID IT! The three minutes was killer (all of you who are runners already can just contain your laughter).
While I did note that in my last blog I might repeat last week, the fact that I made it through today makes me want to keep pushing forward. So Sunday we will try this all again and see how it goes.
No injuries so far. I do have a knee that is a little sore, but not so bad that I can't do any running. What I really probably need is a new pair of tennis shoes (the ones I have are pretty old), but money is just too tight right now to spend money on a new pair. For now I'll just have to keep pounding the pavement with the old guys. Maybe someday we'll have enough money for me to get a pair of real running shoes, maybe even some where they look at how you run and stuff. That would be neat!
Anyway, enough dreaming. Onward to the weekend!
