My morning started slow. Monday's always seem to for some reason. I didn't wake up 'til 6:45 even though I had set my alarm for 6:15. I had charged my ipod the night before so I was out on the trail by 7:15, but I hate getting a late start.
I had the trail to myself today. I guess the rain kept most people away. This was the first day that I ran in the rain. I enjoyed it and the cool temps.
Today my workout changed. I moved to the Week Two training regimen. It requires 90 seconds of running followed by two minutes of walking. On Friday I felt really good after my run, and even felt that I could have run more. I was confident that I could make the step up to the new workout. But by this morning, my confidence was gone, and I wrestled as I headed out to the trail of whether or not I could handle it. But I DID! I handled it; all 6 intervals.
On the trail:
- On the fifth interval my ipod stopped working. UGGHHH I hate that. Only because I'm so dependent on the podcast I run with telling me when to run, and when to walk. It is very frustrating resetting the ipod then finding the podcast, fast forwarding to the place it froze, blah blah blah.
- On the last interval I passed the only other person I saw today. He was a jogger headed the opposite way, so I high-fived him. There is probably a rule against that in runners etiquette. But I think that there should be an exception for runners over 300 pounds. We need as much encouragement as possible.
