So today started out really early..Miss B woke me up at 5:30 am because she couldn't find her stuffed tiger in her bed. So after finding the mislaid tiger and tucking her back into bed, I only had 10 minutes left until my alarm was supposed to go off...Crap! I hate it when mornings start out like this! Anyway, although I was wanting to climb back into bed and forget the run this morning, I forced myself to get dressed and downstairs.
Today is the 1st run of week 3 on the program. I am not usually a big fan of the 1st run of the new week, because I don't know what is coming at me. Today wasn't too bad. The music was 2 bpm faster than the last 2 weeks, so I bumped up my speeds my .2 and went at it. I felt pretty good, and really noticed that I am getting stronger. Near the last running interval I was really feeling the burn in my calves and shins. I hope the pain in my shins isn't going to turn into shin splints, but right now they are feeling good.
I was having a hard time near the end of the run, and kept telling myself to "get stronger with every step!" It seemed to help me make it through, and I think I might have to write that above the screen of my treadmill.
Here are my stats for today!
Walking pace 3.2 mph
Jogging Pace 4.2 mph
1.5 mile time 25:23 (take that 26:50!!)
Total miles 1.7 in 29:26
Onward and upward!!
