Running update
Turns out I can't be bothered with the Couch to 5K program. It's too much looking at the clock. I prefer my counting songs system, because it's less thinking. And rather than watching the seconds tick down in agony, I can zone out and focus on the music.
So, going into my run (having not done much physical activity in two months or more) my plan was:
Walk one, Run three, Walk two, Run two, Walk one, Run one, Walk one. Done. I estimated that would turn out to be roughly 20 mins walking, 24 mins running and around 3.5 miles. (Slow jogging pace, brisk walk)
What I ACTUALLY did:
Walk one, Run three, Walk two, Run two, Walk two. Done. Which turned out to be exactly 22.13 mins walking, 18.04 mins running and roughly 3.10 miles. Not bad for being embarrassingly out of shape, but I gotta say, THAT HURT! I was seriously strategically choosing streets where people looked home just in case I had a heart attack in someone's front yard. My brain started hurting and I wondered if I was having an aneurysm. I'm still alive, so I guess I didn't.
I have a feeling I'll be sore tomorrow, but on Thursday I'll be ready for another go, and I'll try for the original plan again.
