c25kI am so glad this community exists. The only thing that got me out of the house this lunchtime was knowing that I'd rather post here saying I completed week 2 successfully than have to admit I didn't make it. Yay accountability. And especial thanks to rmc28 who updated this morning and gave me that extra motivation boost cos I want to keep up with my virtual buddy.
So it's grey and damp and miserable and I have five hundred things to do and my uterus hates me. It turns out that I actually dislike the prospect of going to the gym more than I dread the prospect of running in the rain, though. I ran in circles around the cemetery, which has the advantage of having quite a few tarmac paths to run on when it's wet and muddy. And it did in fact start raining while I was out there, but I was enough focused on the running that it wasn't really a hardship to keep going.
Average time was slightly slower than Tuesday, but the difference is small enough it's probably just measurement noise. And as far as I can judge from Runkeeper my fastest speed during the run was faster.
Most importantly, I've completed week 2 successfully, and I'm feeling ready for Week 3. Though it is a big jump from 90 second runs to 3 minute runs...

Date: 11/10/2012 10:28 pm (UTC)From my power-walking days, and also getting caught in Cambridge downpours, I know don't mind the cold of rain as long as I'm moving. I worry more about damp cloth chafing in the long-term, but that's probably not going to be an issue in just 30 minutes.
I'm definitely getting an endorphin kick from it now - I was noticably bouncy + enthusiastic chatting to
