So no video blog for these two days. Life has been pretty hectic this past week, and I just can't find the time to sit down and record. So you get to read instead! :)
Let's start with Week 5, Day 1:
Wow was this easier than all of Week 4 put together. I was so pumped when I finished that last 5 minute run (tired but pumped). I just couldn't believe that this was so much easier than Week 4. It seemed too good to be true. Secretly I was dreading Day 2....but at the same time I was excited about it. There were only 2 runs...of course they're 8 minutes each, but still just 2 runs. Somehow that seems more manageable than 4 runs, or even 3...I'm not sure why.
So on to today's run Week 5, Day 2:
I KICKED SOME MAJOR BUTT!!!!!!!!!! It was so great, the 8 minutes FLEW by. No seriously, don't balk...I know some of you are still behind me, and you've got to be saying "Really? 8 minutes? You complained about 3 being too long how is 8 easier than 3??" I cannot answer that question, I really can't, I just have to tell you that it is! When you get here you'll understand.
I had a little trouble picking back up for the last run. In the 5 minute walk my knee started to get stiff and it took me a bit to work that out after I started running again, it really slowed me down, but that 8 minutes were over before I knew it. When the chime went off and my phone said "Cool Down" I actually looked at the phone to make sure it was right, I didn't believe it that I'd been jogging for 8 minutes already.
This feeling that I've got today is really empowering. I feel like I can conquer the world! It's such a rush. I never knew what people talked about when they said they get a "runner's high" but I felt it today, and I'm still feeling it, 4 hours after my run was over. It's incredible!
Bring on Week 5, Day 3! You don't scare me!
