Tomorrow is the start of week 5. Can you believe it? I thought week four was going to kill me. We jumped from jogging for 9 minutes total to jogging for 16 minutes. That’s nearly double!! Holy cow.
I did have a bit of a melt down on Monday, the first day of the week, and proclaimed this wasn’t possible about half way through. With his help I came around and finished with 15 minutes instead of the intended 16 of jogging. Not bad. Today is supposed to be an off day. A day of rest before launching into week 5.
But I felt like moving. I’d been knitting most of the morning and felt sedentary and a bit anxious. I made a quick playlist of upbeat songs, Jump by Madonna, Let it Rock by Kevin Little, Somewhere Beyond the Sea by Bobby Darrin. Then I laced up the sneakers and hit the bricks at 11am on Saturday. Can you believe this? What was I thinking? According to Weather.com it’s 74 degrees outside but there is a breeze and there is shade along the road. This wa my first time jogging without my coach. He’s out of town right now. So it’s up to me to hold up my end of this Couch-to-5K on my own. I strapped on his watch, shoved a key and my Ipod into the sports bra and had a great time. I think I’m starting to understand the runner’s high.
