I hope everyone had a great weekend. I worked Saturday, it was very busy with all the students coming back to town looking for those great deals on movies and music. Sunday the hubby and I had a nice day together getting laundry finished and lounging around the house watching some movies. Monday, back to the grind of running and working.
Today was W5D1. Catie was skeptical but we rocked it. To say it was not too bad would be an understatement. I really feel that at the end of the 5 minutes of running that we could have done at least 2 more maybe three. There was this zone that we got in to. Breathing and leg tiredness was not an issue. Day 2 will be a breeze with 8 mins to run. Friday is the big one where most people have the hardest time. 20 full minutes of running without a break. I am not going to psych myself out about the 20 mins instead I will psych myself up for achieving a huge goal. I have music playing while the c25k app runs in the background and I chatter with Catie to keep her mind off of the fact that we are running. If I can change the subject from running to who is annoying us right now; the new additions to our household; or even buggers and how they make it hard to breathe; then we run longer and are actually surprised when it is time to stop running. No, we probably wont be able to cure cancer; take over the world; or figure out what men are thinking, but it gets the job done.
I really believe in this program and if you can stick to it you will succeed even if there are small set backs and repeating a day is necessary, continue on. Find a group of people to talk to, keep a running log, try new paths, and keep on running!
