Day 2 of week 2

So today was day 2 of the week two's training.  Oh my!  It was definitely my hardest day out there yet.  Haha, I know you're thinking that I've only done my little training routine for a total of 5 days.  Regardless, I'm going to attribute today's difficulties to a variety of reasons ranging from 1) junk food, 2) not enough water, and 3) hmm, I'm shy one reason... So, let's blame it on allergies.  :)  But, I did it... My legs got very very tired towards the end of the run, and my breathing was quite laborious.  Ahhhhhh, I don't know what I've gotten myself into.

So now I'm on a quest to figure out how to make this better.  I've come up with one way, and I think it'll help.  I'm going to try to have my husband make a podcast for me, using 1) my favorite music, 2) Robert's schedule of running and 3) the hubs voice over to tell me when I need to run, when I need to walk, and when I need to warm up and cool down.  I have to say, having a techie hubby has its perks.  He may spend more time with his computer than with me, but I am starting to see some of the benefits.  :-) So I've got a few good ideas for songs, 1) Cee Lo Green's Forget You, 2) B.O.B.'s Price Tag... and that's it for now.. Maybe the 3) Bruno Mars Grenade.  If you have any suggestions sent them my way!  I've got to get 30 minutes of tunes together for my new and improved Podcast by Jon Hayden.

Today I took along the Garmin to see exactly how far I was run/walking and at what type of pace.  LOL, it's certainly nothing to brag about, but here are the stats:  I went 1.97 miles, in 29:30 minutes, with an average pace of 14:59.  I'm not sure how this program is going to get me to a 5K, I'm becoming quite the skeptic.

Jon's actually talking about going with me on Sunday.  Last time I went for a run/walk with him, he ran circles around me and it did nothing for our relationship LOL.  Hopefully, he has learned what is acceptable and what is not.  Tomorrow I'm making a Scrumptious OREO cake!  I can't wait to taste it.  Maybe I'll take a picture of my cake for my blog on Sunday!  Happy Weekend everyone!! PS the rain will be here on Sunday, I wonder if it'll be a treadmill day, or an outside day.... It'll be interesting.
