He Lied

The trainer that speaks into my ears as I run tells me to run and walk, warm-up and cool down. He has been a great help, but today he lied to me.

This week we increased to 3 min run/90 sec walk; 5 min run/2.5 min walk; repeat.

He told me that the work I did last week had MORE than prepared me for the increase this week. LIAR!

Ok, maybe the problem was that I didn't work harder last week. Maybe Wednesday is a bad day to start a new increment. But I wasn't ready. I ran the first half, but didn't run the second half. I did push myself through the first 5 min run. My farthest ever, but it just was overshadowed by the fact that it drained my gas and I walked the rest.

At this point I will continue to push. Friday I'll run this again. My goal is to add the second 3 min run. Then I'll do it for all of next week.

Bad day!
