C25K - W1D3

Managed to get up and go for a run this morning before I even ate.. which may not have been the best idea ever, but I didn't want to eat waffles and then try and go.

I'm looking forward to a new week not because I want to run longer, but because I want to see what's next, and challenge myself more. Running 60s and then walking for 90s isn't really that tough..

I finished my second "run" tonight. It was a bit better than the first, still fairly easy. It feels good to be getting outside and doing something active.

I managed to somehow screw up my ipod.. and either ran 8 - 60s (what it should be) .. or 9 - 60s. Ahh well, either way is good, I guess.

Thrilling entry, I know.

C25K - W1D1

Today was the first day of my "Couch to 5K" start to run without killing/hating myself program thing. I found a series of podcasts (1/week for 9 weeks) which tells you when to start warming up, running, walking and the cool down. The music that goes along with it is sort of trancey - which is kind of nice, because it's not music that I know. I'm often tempted to change the song because I want something else. With this, it's not something I know, so I'm not sick of it. Hoping that after 9 weeks, 3 times per week I'll still feel that way so I still get out.

Starting with 60 seconds of running with 90 seconds of walking was pretty relaxed, and while I feel like I could go longer, when D and I started this last year, but around week 3.. it wasn't so fun. I was in pain at the start. Going to continue with the slow buildup, and hope that it works better.

Hopefully blogging about it every day when I finish will keep me motivated to go. Really, really hoping this is the case.
