#summer runnin

Yesterday I finally decided to move on to week 2 of C25K. I was trying to do all of week 1 like in an actual week, but I’m just not running three times a week so it wasn’t happening. So I just figured, let’s do week 2 day 1 and if I make it, let’s say we’re on week 2. It wasn’t always easy, but I did do it, so now I’m on week 2.

Look who went for a run even though I wasn’t in the office!

C25K Week 4

Day one of my “catch up or die trying” week was mostly successful. I did manage to get up early, but not quite early enough for a run. Instead, I did a pretty intense, if short, arm workout at home. And adjusted my alarm for a little earlier to try again tomorrow. 

Ran in the afternoon and completed Week 3 Day 1, finally. I just focused real hard on staying slow, and it worked! I even decreased my overall pace - by a lot! - since I wasn’t so exhausted during the walking portions. 

I do have a couple of mantras. The first I like so much that I even tattooed it on me:

Unfortunately when my phone holder is on my arm I can’t see it (when I got it, I was using a different one and this was visible) but it’s a reminder that, no matter what I’m doing, I need to focus on one thing at a time.

And then when I finish “this” mile, my shoe reminds me to take on the next

I don't know about you guys, but I'm really excited for long morning runs in the Summer again.
