angrboda: Running feet with running shoes on. (C25K)

I decided to do day 2 of week 5 again rather than go back down to day 1, after the misery that was last time. This produced my fastest time ever on my current route. A full 6 minutes quicker than last time and a minute quicker than the previous fastest time.

What a remarkable difference from last time when it was so hard and miserable. I mean it was still hard, but more managable.

I had breathing troubles this time. By the end of each run I was wheezing for breath, but that probably also had something to do with the fact that I was going so fast. I think I ran faster, generally, than I've ever managed before. Part of this may have had something to do with the fact that it's going to be a rainy day here, so I wanted to get the run over with before that really started. It did start to rain when I was half way through, so there's a good chance that a great part of my speed was caused by wanting to get home as soon as possible.

I feel now like I did after the second session of day 1 this week when I decided to step it up to day 2 the next time. Which means that I am now considering stepping it up to day 3 for next time. I am not, however, so stupid that I'll do it. I'll do day 2 one more time and see how that goes. I have learned my lesson, yes I have.
