Day 3 of Week 2

So I've done this for 2 weeks now.  My little Run/Walk.  Today was an interesting day for a few reasons.  First, I had a special homemade podcast/mp3 created by Jon put together with my favorite music du jour, with voiceovers telling me when to do what.  Another reason today was different was that it was barely 40 degrees when I went out for my run, and this is no small feat!  I hate cold weather.  But, I bundled up, hat, sweatshirt, and gloves and pushed on.  I was so thankful that it wasn't raining as they had predicted yesterday.  Finally, I altered my "way" of running.  I've been running as the first podcast guy suggested  heel to toe, well I did that, and it was hard.  I felt like Fred Flintstone, literally pounding the pavement.  I've done it all along for the last 2 weeks, but it's been exhausting, and probably not the most efficient way to "run".  Today I decided to try something a little different, Jon's been telling me to run on my mid-foot/forefoot, so I gave it a try.  It allowed for my pace to be a little bouncier, and it was much easier.  I'm not sure if the ease is due to the form, or the music, because it could be either or both.  :)

Yesterday, I made the most amazing Oreo cake.  It is delicious.  I had two pieces yesterday, and I'm pretty sure that by the end of today, I will have had two more pieces.  So this run, was for that cake!

I'm really looking forward to Week 3, I've got to get the "instructions" and send them on to Jon, so that he can compose the next personalized podcast/mp 3 for me.  Today while running, I noticed one dog, one cat, many buds, lots of blossoms and two robins.  But I do have one question, Dear Mother Nature, where oh where has spring gone?  Our weather people are predicting a possible flurry in the morning, I certainly hope they are wrong.  Until Wednesday, hang strong, and survive Monday and Tuesday.
