Time: 3:30 PM
Weather: Forgot to check again but another perfect day for getting outside. Probably 70, sunny, light wind.
Shoes: Nike Free 4.0
Running Partner: Mollie for the warmup and first .75 miles then I had to drop her back off at home. Also, word to the wise, when you're walking/running with a dog sometimes you need to carry more than one poop bag with you because sometimes one doggy pitstop is not enough.

Pace/Distance:
How it Felt: Tough. I walked several times (about 5 times for twenty second each or so). It actually starts hurting worse when I walk. I definitely had some mental struggle today and I realized that stopping running was about the worst thing I could do because it was a lot hard to start running again than it was to just keep running once I was going. But I'm still pretty shocked at how much further I'm going now than just a week ago. I found myself lusting after some more cushioned shoes the last two days. I've tried to make a deal with myself that I won't even go in and look at shoes until I finish my first 5K. I know if I go in to look, I'm sunk and I'll be walking out with a new pair. I'm thinking about going easy the next two days. Maybe just a mile each day. Check back tomorrow.
If its been a while, take a full day off. Makes a huge difference
ReplyDeleteI took yesterday off. I'm going to just run a mile (I can't believe I said "just run a mile") with a friend tonight so we'll see how it feels.
DeleteHa ha! You are starting to really sound like a runner when you say things like that!
