Week 1 Day 1

[faesdeynia]

I did the workout today without any issue - woot! But I run so very slowly that I only went 1.4 miles, so I added an extra .6 walk with the dog to make up 2 miles. It was pouring when I woke up this morning, so I had to run after getting home. I ate a really light dinner, waited about an hour and then headed out.

I thought that jogging for 2 minutes would be impossible at my current level of fitness, but it wasn't bad at all. I guess I've been running too fast before? I tried to keep it slow enough that I could give the dog commands while running.

I'll see how I feel during yoga tomorrow :-D

I go very slowly as well. On an average day I can probably run faster than I can walk now, but in the beginning and on a tough day, I can walk faster.

Oh yay, well done.

Ooh, well done managing the intervals at a good pace. I think it's a common experience for a lot of inexperienced runners that it takes a while to learn how to run slow enough to be sustainable over distance, rather than sprinting.
