I woke up bright and early this morning (30 minutes before the alarm) and laid in bed thinking about running my c25k. I took Saturday off and then started the first week again on Sunday. It’s funny how a little change can really impact your thought processes. 2 months ago the first thing I would have thought about was playing World of Warcraft. Now I’m thinking about what the weather is going to be when I get outside. Instead of thinking “I have an hour free, I should run home and play on the computer“, I’m thinking “I have an hour free, I should go for a walk“.
This will be my last week on c25k week one. I’m a little apprehensive about going on to week 2 as I’m still struggling to get to the 60 second mark without slowing down. I have noticed though that my brain is slowly but surely not focusing in on the time but rather picking a spot in the distance to watch. There have even been a few times that I felt like 60 seconds was easy peasy. The main difference I’ve noticed is that I think I could keep going even after the 5 minute walk warm up 8 reps of 60 seconds jogging and 90 seconds walking and then the last 5 minutes cool down…I’m starting to feel like “that’s it?” I think about sneaking in another round but feel it’s better to just follow straight on through (albeit my decision to repeat each week twice).
Tonight’s dinner is a foot long Black Forest Ham Subway sandwich. I’ve been looking forward to this all day!
