Today's run

I was really disappointed that I couldn't go running yesterday. But it was pouring. I went out at lunch to walk over to the mall and it was cold with a little mist in the air, but around 3ish the skies just opened up.... Oh well....

So, I went today. I completed the whole thing. But I did learn a few valuable lessons today:

1) I am really glad that I made a new playlist of music where I played with the order of the music....As much as I love certain songs, only certain songs can be played at the intervals that I want to quit in order to keep me going.

2) I think my body is learning that if I am sore, I will walk the interval. As per usual, my legs were getting progressively sore, so that when I finished run interval 4, my legs were very sore. This time I figured instead of walking interval 5, I paused the app and walked until my legs were better. Then I resumed with run interval 5. The goal of week 1 is to run 8-one minute intervals and I should not cheat myself. So now hopefully my body will learn that you may need to walk, but the entire workout will take longer.

3) I NEED TO STRETCH. I think that is what is causing a lot of my problems with my legs. I really need to stretch. Being an occupational therapist, I really should know better. So, before I leave to do my run on Saturday I will stretch.

Hopefully Saturday's run will be a lot better with the lessons I have learned today.
