I had every intention of running yesterday, but somehow I never got moving. Today I had just enough time squeeze in run between tutoring, renewing library books, and lunch with a friend.
When I got back from Day 1 on Saturday and checked out the free CT5K app I was using I discovered it doesn't track distance or pace, both of which were things that interested me, so I drove my route with my car this morning and got a pretty good idea of my distance at least.
Today I didn't feel like running in my neighborhood so I took a little drive to a local park with a paved loop that's just under a mile. I actually felt pretty good for the first half of my workout. I even made it till the 5th running interval before I checked my time during the running part. This felt like an achievement! By the end I was really over-heated and wished I were somewhere with more shade. I am starting to wonder if I should bring a water bottle with me while I'm running... We'll see!
Anyway, overall it felt like a good workout. I went .12 miles further than I did Saturday in the same amount of time, so that was encouraging. My hope is to go again either Thursday or Friday before I'm away for the weekend. I like having a day of recovery from the running piece but am trying to find a balance and be sure I'm still walking or active on my "off" day. My real goal is routine building, so that seems important!
Till next time, stay cool!
