Week 5, Run 2

Yesterday, before work, I ran my second 1st run of week five. Went fine. No complaints. Today, I ran the 2nd run of week 5. 8 minute run, 5 minute walk, 8 minute run. I was surprised of how easy I found it. Especially the first 8 minute run. I know I don't run fast, but it wasn't bad at all. I found it easier than the three 5 minute runs. It was great running for that long though. I never really thought I'd make it this far. The last few minutes of the 2nd 8 minute run was a little difficult, but managable. I had a stitch, but again I just concentrated on my breathing. I find I get a stitch when I don't breathe properly. So I just need to take a few deep breaths and I'm usually good to go. I'm excited for the 5k! I wish I could do it now!! lol When is the fiddle run by the way?? Tomorrow another 8 minute run! A friend might be coming with me after work. She wants to get back in shape and we're going to have a girl's night. Running, dinner, and movies.

Anyway, it was a good run!

Way to go on the second run of week 5! The fiddlers is on Sept 19. I was worried it was when we would be in Chicago, but luckily it is not!

Not running fast is not necessarily a bad thing! I think I "jog" too fast for this stage, but who knows. Since I am not running with someone, I really have no idea how my pace really is.

Sadly, I am looking forward to the 8 minute runs... WTG, you are doing fantastic...I like you being a bit ahead of me in the program, so I know what to expect...
