I missed out on "training" Saturday and Sunday due to a packed schedule and feeling a little bit under the weather. So I headed out this afternoon for the second session. I actually stuck to the recommended schedule of "Couch to 5K" which has you alternate 60 seconds of running with 90 seconds of walking for 15 minutes (after 5 minute warm up). I don't know how... but I'm pretty sure that the walking seconds were shorter than the running seconds. Christopher went with me and I think my condition worried him. He kept asking me, "Are you ok?!" LOL But seriously - no. I wasn't ok. I think my legs gained 53 pounds each time we ran. By the time we stopped I could barely lift them - they were SO HEAVY! My face resembled that of Bob the Tomato... I was sweaty, with a round-red face, heaving, and barely able to walk. Yeah. Super attractive, I'm sure.
As I STRUGGLED to run I realized that I CANNOT do this. However, this realization makes me understand that I MUST do this. I might not be able to do it in the allotted time frame... but I must keep going.
It's funny because about 30-45 minutes after feeling like each breath just might be my last... I felt energetic and wished I had gone a little longer! Weird.

I'm so proud of you!!!!
So... how's the training going??
It's not :( I need motivation! I always seem to have something more important to do... clean, cook, laundry, work, spend time with the family... I just need something to PUSH me out the door!
