C25K W1D2

I didn't want to do this one. In fact, I honestly thought I couldn't do this one. My excuse? I had just walked over a mile, mostly uphill, and my whole body ached. But you know what? I did my run. I knocked it out of the park! (Though I decided to skip the cool down in favor of catching my favorite show, America's Next Top Model).

I went out just after sunset on Wednesday night, in time to see the beautiful super harvest moon, and did my run around the school I live right next to. By the time I was done, the stars had come out and I felt very peaceful and accomplished :)

The run itself was better than the first day, definitely. Not as much pain in my shins (though the soreness in my quads was annoying) and I didn't get a pain in my side at all! The next day I definitely felt both the uphill walk and the intervals but that didn't stop me from walking nearly two miles, which I do every Tuesday and Thursday.

Today should've been my W1D3, but once I got out there my iPod died and I had no other way of keeping track. I tried to count in my head but then I felt I was spending too much energy concentrating. My fiance has to go to work so I'll probably go tomorrow. (If I had a jogging stroller I'd go with my son, but I don't).

Steps: 3500. Distance: 1.5 miles. Avg. Speed: 3.2 MPH. Time: 25 minutes. Calories: 124.5.
