Week Two, Session Two

Should be:


Run 1 minute. Walk 2 minutes. Do this 10 times.





I actually did:


Run 2 minutes. Walk 2 minutes. Do this 9 times.

I was bad! This session was supposed to be on Wednesday - and it's Friday. I had Wednesday off and was having a nice relaxing day, so I chose to skip that day. I figured I would do my run on Thursday, Session Three on Saturday, and then still have a rest day before running on Monday. Except then I fell asleep on Thursday night. So, here I am - late is better than never! I don't want to give up my rest days, so it looks like it will take me about a week to get back on schedule. In the future, I will do my best not to skip days because I just don't feel like it.

I sort of screwed things up today. I brought my running stuff to work so I could go straight to my parents' house afterward to pick up the dogs, but I forgot to bring the book. All dressed up, and no idea what to do! I decided to copy the structure of last week. I did the same rotation as in Session One, but I only repeated it 9 times. Well, when I got home I found out that it was completely different, and I was totally off base. I think I'm going to make a running bag with an extra set of clothes, my shoes, a watch (I had to buy a new watch today because I forgot my existing one at home as well), and a photocopy of the session pages. Then I can just grab it and go, and not worry about forgetting things. The last thing I need is an excuse to not run!

The run itself wasn't too bad, other than my shins hurting more than normal. After a while I started thinking about other things, which made the time fly by. Kind of.
