After a few repeats of Week 5, Day 1 I finally braved Week 5, Day 2!It was two running segments of eight minutes each with one five minute walking break in between. I took only one little break during the first eight minutes to cross over some wet grass, jump over a drainage ditch, and cross the street. During the second segment, I took a quick break to cross over the same grass/ditch/street and one more little break for about 30 seconds. It went well, I was surprised that it went as well as it did this morning. It might have even been a little better if I had gone earlier in the morning when the sun was less blazing.
Tomorrow I'll try it again before moving on after a nice rest day.
I need to remember to use the C210k app on my phone. Since the OS on our phones updated, I have a hard time hearing the timer lady speak commands. If I turn up the volume, the music is too loud. I am not able to adjust the volume separately.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to plug in my phone at bedtime so it was only about half charged when I got up to run. Only 86° this morning but didn't want to head out with a half charged phone. Decided to use the treadmill instead. I nunned up (had some samples from the GC Half), turned on three fans, checked the mileage on the fitbit (if .06 counts as miles), and got underway. I soon realized the fans were not in good alignment but at least moving the air around. Running on the treadmill is not a good time to look for treadmill apps as it was distracting and I wasn't listening for the timer to bark commands. By the time I finished, my hydration was gone, my sweat towel was completely wet, and I still had a layer of sweat on my arms. After that sweat fest, I looked forward to a dip in the pool to cool the core. I was surprised to find a man sitting on the patio when I opened the door. Tom has gone outside to read the paper but it was too windy. It would've been okay to run outside with the breeze. Oh well.
