c25k week two day one

hmm. I like clothes. but who knew I'd find running a perfect excuse to go out and buy running gear? I ended up at Rebel Sport yesterday to buy a new light top to go running in - as my usual t-shirts feel a bit heavy and get too damp. They were having a clearance sale, so in the end I picked up a new running tshirt and a pair of short leggings with a pocket big enough for my phone or ipod. And a nice light nike running hat.

So started out on week two in a fancy new outfit. Didn't make me any faster or fitter, but I was way more comfortable!

It's late but my playlist for tomorrow is done

c25k week one day six

It's early and I've already been for my walk/run. Yay me :)

I'm ready to move on to week two now, not confident, but I need to push past week one. I think mentally I'll find 6 runs easier than 9, even though they are 30 seconds longer, there are less of them!

c25k week one day five

Out early, tired now ;) need to go to bed a bit earlier if I'm going to get up at 5.30 to run I think.

Managed all 8 runs again. I think I'll be able to move on to week two on Sunday.

I've decided that a schedule of Sunday, Tuesday & Thursday runs really suits me. And I have to run in the morning, if I leave it to the evening I'll have too much time to talk myself out of going.

c25k week one day four

so repeating week one again, starting today. Have made myself a new playlist to go along with the podcast. It's not easy, maybe I'm running too fast? I'm finding the thought that I have to run 8 times quite daunting - each run I'm counting down "ok, 5 left"..."oh no, still 3 runs to go", which I think is making it harder for myself.

c25k week one day three

ok, this morning I didn't quite make all the runs, I skipped the 6th run, my legs just didn't want to go. Feel pretty good after it's over though. I've decided to repeat week one next week, I think my body needs to get used to getting out there and moving again.

It's not a race, I just want to make it to week 9, even if it takes me more than 9 weeks!
