So I skipped 2 of the runs, but hey, I managed 41 minutes this morning so I'm counting it as done.
It wasn't a great run, it wasn't an awful run. It was just too humid outside, after about 10 minutes I was damp and uncomfortable. It's APRIL, in Palmy...it's not supposed to be 18C at 7.30am in the morning. The nike+ still needs a bit of calibration, it seems to be bang on for the first km, but by the end my stride had probably shortened and I was a few hundred metres out - it said 6km, I'd only run 5.3 according to the phone gps and Map my run . Still, I've shaved off a few minutes from my first 5k time.
The ankle didn't hurt at all through the run, possibly due to the brace I was wearing. So that's good news. I've noticed a bit of discomfort during the day, but nothing bad. Maybe I'll get a two morning runs in this week before work.
I also did the end of week two progress tests for the 100pushups, 200situps & 200squats.
Pushups - 16 - an improvement of 14 over the initial test
Situps - 21 - improvement of 13 (less than my max yesterday, but my abs hurt today!)
Squats - 45 - improved by 20
So that's a win on all all counts. I started with the c25k on the 17th January and I couldn't run 100m, do more than 2 pushups or 5 situps. Now I can run 5km and I'm sure give me another month or 6 weeks and I'll be doing 100 pushups. Anything is possible if you give it a go.
