Run #10! The start of Week 4!!

So this week has been a tough week. I am still battling a very sore knee from working out With my trainer last Friday! And top that Off with a busy schedule…this week Has been crappy!! I was supposed to start week 4 of the program yesterday, but when my alarm went off, I was simply too tired to even think about getting out of bed!! I truly felt guilty all day for the extra 30 minutes of sleep!

Then I planned on running before I went to bed..but again life Crapped out on my and I had to teach YW first aid, and didn’t plan on Brinley still being awake when I got home @9pm!! So instead of running, I put her to bed, then *gasp* had 2 Homemade chocolate chip cookies for dinner and watched the finale of the Biggest Loser, then crashed.

But boy oh boy this morning was different. I actually Started waking up around 4am wondering if It were time to get up to run! How odd! I think I actually dreamed about running… hmmm I can’t figure that out. I think that I am actually jonsing for the run.

The run was tough! I won’t lie to you. The running segments seemed to take F-O-R-E-V-E-R!! Near the end of them I actually started to poop out and slow the speed down. I ran for the Most part @ 4.3mph! My legs felt great! No pain in my knees, but my Wind/endurance sure was put to the test today. On the final Run segment, I actually had to slow it down to a fast walk, I was Pooped!! But I made it through it! And now I can look Forward to 2 more days of this program then I am officially 1/2 way through!

Here are my stats for today:

Walk speed 3.2

Run speed 4.3 then 4.0

1 1/2 mile time 24:30 (whoot whoot)

Total time: 31:00

Total miles: 1.925 (over the 1/2 of the 5K)
