Today I did Week 3 Day 1, which wasn't as bad as I thought it might be. The worst part was the last 30 seconds of the last 3 minutes of running. Other than that it was pretty good. I was pretty dern proud of myself. :) I've decided that I run like an old man haha. If you've ever seen old men run and how they take small steps and a pretty slow pace, that's how I run. I think it's just because it's easier for me to set my pace that slow and I don't get horribly winded by the end of the very first jogging section. But today I did try to pick up my pace a little bit the last running part. I also decided that I'm gonna run outside once a week until it gets a bit closer and it'll be more than that closer to race time. So I think I might get the Nike+ system since I'll be doing the running outside part so that I can start to keep track of the same stats that I can keep track of on the treadmill at the gym. I'll let ya'll know how it goes. :)
Sadly, as Matt said, we forgot to take a picture of the beach. :( And I meant to take a picture this morning and I forgot that too.....So here's a couple of pretty cool pictures of the sun setting while we were driving home yesterday from FL:
Hope everyone's week goes well! :)
Oh I totally used to be an old man runner!! I think I conquered the younger run this spring haha. I hope anyway...
ReplyDeleteThose are great pictures. I just really like them.
Let me know how the Nike + thing goes! I heard about a $180 system that also tracks your heartrate. I'm really wishin i had money to throw around for it. You know I love tracking my vital signs. Or I don't know if you know that. Now you know.
I was feeling it at the end of the 3 minutes too. And I think I would feel better about those pics if I didn't know they were taken while driving with no hands on the wheel!
ReplyDeleteHey now, you loved my mad driving skills! :)
