Well, my idea of seeing if I could do 1.5/1.5 intervals before trying for the 2/1 again proved to be brilliant. I felt good, my legs didn't hurt and that kept me motivated. Granted...I did it on the treadmill, but it was 40 something degrees outside and I'm just not cut out for that yet. I get so confused on what to wear. Too hot with a long sleeve t-shirt and yoga pants...too cold with shorts and a t-shirt. Such confusion. But, I'm heading back outside to do 1.5/1.5 intervals tomorrow because I know it's always more difficult out there.
I missed my Friday run last week. Hubs and I hit up First Watch for breakfast instead. I intended to get up and go on Saturday morning...but I was totally hungover after my Jayhawks lost. Oh well...one thing I have learned is that I cannot beat myself up over missing chances to run. I just have to get right back on track (ha...that's a pun). That's what I did on Monday and I'm pretty damn proud of myself for not just throwing in the towel.
So, this is week four of my journey and while it's coming along slowly...it's still coming along...and that's something for me to be proud of. Shit...in the past...four weeks would be a miracle for me. Well, actually...after about week seven...I'm typically done. So, I'm halfway to my typical tap out time...but I won't give up this time. I have rewards to earn! I had told myself that I would reward myself for every four weeks of consistent, three to four day a week jogging. Well, since four weeks will be up on Friday...looks like it's almost time for a reward! Yay! I love buying stuff. However, since I missed a workout last week...I'm not going to allow myself to buy those too cute Nike running shorts that I want just yet. This four week's reward??? Socks!!! I swear...I have two pair that don't fall down into my shoes when I jog and it's time to add to their family. So, I've got to stick to the plan for the rest of the week...because a trip to Target to buy socks is waiting for me on Saturday. Is that something to be excited about or what?
