I Did it... Almost

Today I started the second week of the "Couch to 5K" running plan. It is taking me a bit longer to get from one week to the next... so many things happen everyday and getting a schedule going is hard for me. We have 4 day weekdays and 3 day weekends around here.. to keep things balanced I really should be walking on one of the weekend days. I should have at least walked yesterday but I had some paperwork I HAD to get finished and I was just too focused on that. ( I now think if I had walked the paperwork might have gone better ) I seem to have a lot more energy after walking for the rest of the whole day... better than a nap by far.

So today I get on the treadmill and am pretty sure I am not going to be able to do the second week plan.. which is run 90 seconds/ walk 2 minutes, after having so many days off.. but I decided to give it my best and I was very surprised. I was able to do most of the running for 90 seconds.. there were a couple I cut short but they were all close but the last one.. it was just over 60 seconds. I think I did hear a couple of bad words a few times but I had the doors and windows shut so no one heard but me. Would have helped a bit if the music had been a bit better. Most the time I just turn on one of the music stations on the tv.. and have had pretty good luck.. but today I had the slowest songs.. they were just blah with nothing. I am going to need to work on getting some regular music set up.
