Day 43
5 minutes walking
3 minutes jogging/2 minutes walking x 3
1 minute walking to water fountain
1 minute stretching after water fountain, to see if it helped with the hill
1 minute jogging (sprinting, more like, because I was pissed at that hill)
*sound of me hitting wall here, then shrugging it off, then getting back to work*
2 minutes jogging/2 minutes walking
2 minutes jogging/1 minute walking (ran out of course and breath around the same time)
Total time: 30 minutes
Total mileage: 1.54 miles
For some reason, I couldn’t slow my pace down during the course today. I kept consciously trying to go to my normal jog, and instinctively speeding back up every time. So, I worked my ass off, and this was before I hit my favorite hill near the end of the course. Something just snapped there, and I wanted to see how fast I could run and for how long. Made it past the hill, to about the usual spot where I croak, but about a half-minute quicker.
Legs feel fine (they’d been slightly cranky this weekend), but it should be interesting to see how they fare over the next couple days. I’m a little winded because of my pace today, and sweating like a pig, so it’s shower time in a minute, but I like to log this stuff in while it’s fresh.
I am strongly considering (finally) moving onto the next workout level on Tuesday. If I can’t do it, I can’t do it, and I keep working at it until I can like I’ve been with this one, but there’s not much point in not trying.
