2nd Run - Week 1

I did my second run this morning. I was supposed to do it yesterday, but I was too busy yesterday morning, and it got too hot yesterday evening (plus I had to help install the new washer/dryer). Now if I have time I need to stay on schedule and do it tomorrow, which will mean I won't have the day off in between. The run went fine. My shins stopped hurting after the 2nd run interval, so hopefully that will get better each time, if not I will have to bite the bullet and try to get good sneakers sooner rather then later. I added a little music to my MP3 player, and I only got to listen to 2 songs for my cool down. I may have to go a little further to make sure I cool down for the full 5 mins. I did the exact same distance this time as I did last time, but I started the program a lot earlier since I knew how to work it this time. I might just start it once I hit the road instead of on my driveway instead. I like have a turning point on my walk, and right now I turn at the first driveway on Beechmont Rd.

I much prefer listening to my music when I am doing the run.

I would to, but I don't have a fancy Iphone with the cool apps. I'm sure I could set a timer, but this is much easier.

Yeah I hear you. I would rather listen to music or my books. But then I'd have to set a timer or watch and I'm just not willing to do that, lol.

WTG serenity! A good pair of sneakers is a must. I might have an extra pair until you get your own. 2 full songs should be more than enough time for your 5 minute cool down. My cool down is 20 to 30 minutes. I just like walking back and listening to a HP chapter. I don't usually take a day off. If I can run, I run. If not, it's cool. Last week, I think I did 4 runs.
