I have to say, and Tricia agreed, that I was able to breathe a little better this time.. of course the breathing got easier, but my legs hurt more! LOL - it figures.. but we got through it, even with one small ALMOST mishap..
We were on our last run section, and as we were passing a house Tricia had a near-miss encounter with a big old friendly Golden Retriever who thought she wanted to play, and since she was running by, he came bounding out to play! She almost lost it - totally unexpected! Luckily the pup and she are both ok, and we finished our workout with no further incidents.
Proof below:
The running is interesting... I guess it kind of builds on you.. As my Sister-In-Law Louise said "Once you can work through the pain it's great..." (paraphrased).. I can begin to see what she's talking about.. the pain wasn't bad.. and to be honest I actually had energy at night, which was quite unexpected.
I used a new iPhone app tonight since C25K wanted me to buy their GPS option.. I decided to look at other options.. this one is called "Couch to 5K" and it seemed to work pretty well.. we'll see how it is to post the information momentarily.
Work was good today - REALLY hard for me to sit in the chair all day today.. besides there not being any AIR CONDITIONING (?!?) I felt really fidgety.. perhaps due to the extra energy from working out.. who knows?
So, starting to feel the effects of the run... going to call it a night.. here's the LINK to our run tonight - thanks for following along as always, I look forward to telling you more about my adventures tomorrow!
'Nite!
-Pittle out.
Hey guys..pick up July's issue of Runner's World Magazine..in general its a great publication for runners but July's issue is titled "Outrunning Cancer" This issue is full of inspirational stories that will get you through your next run.. especially when your legs feel fried and you don't think you have the energy to get out there and do it again. Many stories that you will be able to relate to Jeff. Keep up the great work! Louise
