C25K Week 6 Day 1

My dog ate my shoes. Sometimes, it is perfectly fine to blame the pets when it happens to be true. So this morning, I was running around trying to find a substitute pair. I didn't have much to choose from, so ended up with a really old pair that squeaked when I walked.

Met with the kids again today. It's still so doggone hot and muggy out.

We ran from our track our water plant here and back, so we put in about 2 miles today. We don't have a lot of choices when we run around town, so we know how far pretty much every landmark is from our school. I ran with my big guy again (mostly I'm afraid he'll give up if he has to run by himself), so we pretty much followed the Couch workout for today. I know we made a full mile :) before we walked the first time. And then we walked about half way back. So I'm going to count it.

My shins really hurt. Probably because of the shoes.


Temperature: 81 still with that damn humidity (82% says the weatherman)
Shoes: Old Nikes
Today: 2 1/2 miles
Total: 31

C25K Somewhere in There

I haven't been running this week. I've been in class all day, every day and I have some kind of lingering stomach bug. And I don't know where you live, but here at home, it's been well over 100 degrees for way too long.

But today, I got a few of my cross country kids to meet at the track. All seven of us headed out for a run. We went 2 1/2 miles and I made it. I can't believe it. Now, granted, I have a very slow fella that I ran with and we walked a few steps a few times, but still, we made it.

I was really worried about running since I hadn't for so long. My plan was to go back and redo the last week of the Couch program. Now that I look at it, I'm pretty much right where I want to be at Week 5 Day 3. Now that is pretty exciting!
