I deserve a pat on the back

Really, I do. For getting yesterday's run completed, I really do deserve a pat on the back. Eating crap = feeling like crap = crappy run. But I pushed my way through W2D1 of the C25k. Every problem that could have occurred during my run did. First, my shorts started riding up (different pair than the night before). Then my earphones kept popping out (bought a new pair last night), and my glasses kept slipping down my nose due to all the sweat. After my run, of course, I felt great, and I was very proud of myself for completing it. It's still not totally easy, but I love the feeling afterwards. Hoping to run at least today and Sunday, and I owe some Nutrition Dailies as well.

Great run!

I forgot to mention my run yesterday. I did the C25K, W1D2 workout, and it was too easy! Crazy, huh? On the last interval, I ran 2 minutes instead of one, and I added another 2 minutes of lighter running to the end before my cooldown. Not bad, eh? Oh, and my fastest speed was 5.0. I think the Serena training for the last few weeks really set a good foundation for my C25k workouts. I mean, I run 4-minute stretches with that workout, so the 1-minute stretches of this first week of the C25k are a bit easy. I do say that the time on this workout FLIES by even though the music isn't my favorite.

Since I'm in such the beginning stages of this, my main focus is the length of time I can run, which in turn will enable me to run one mile in a stretch by the end of the month, hopefully. I still keep track of distance (which was 2.0 miles yesterday) and speed, but time is the short-term goal.
