Oy Vey!!!
So last week went horribly. I'm not sure what was up with me...besides I was tired. But I only did 2 of the 3 runs...and they were both bad. So yesterday I decided that I was doing the week over again and at 10:30pm again...did W2R1 again. Such a different run compared to either of them last week. I maintained a 9:31 pace for 4 of the 6 intervals (run 90 sec walk 120 sec)...with my first two being the slowest.
Now...the dumb part? I felt so great...and I had so much energy...that "smart" me decided to do R2 tonight! The smart part is that over all...it felt great! Did a 9:31 pace for all six intervals. But two things...#1: the last set is where I realized that my knees were really starting to hurt, after all...I'm not in my 20s anymore :-) and #2: they trick you because the last running interval is actually 120 seconds not 90!!! WTF?!
Anyways...I am going to wait until Wed now before I do R3...should I feel the need to burn some energy tomorrow night...I will bike or do the eliptical or something...no running...not even walking tomorrow. Oh...and I decided that when I run...I'm only wearing my cutsie little skirts...shorts twist and ride and yuck! Now...I just need to get a few more...thankfully I like the ones at Target!!

Hmm... there are only 6 intervals in week 2? I only did 4 of the 8 intervals in week 1's repeat today. Then I handed my phone to E to finish the intervals. I still walked, but I didn't run anymore. My legs were burning! I did go walk 30 minutes on the treddy this morning, though. I didn't know he was going to want to do c25k until after I'd done that.
I am really glad this week is going better for you!
Awesome for Ernie!!! And...IMO...there's no shame in walking. Moving is moving! ;-) I'm tired today...but I feel great!
