Saturday surprise W2D3

W2D3

I was planning on going for Day3 on Sunday but found myself getting excited about the run and not wanting to wait.

WHAT IS HAPPENING?????

I am completely enjoying the new feelings of excitement about exercise. I must say, I'm not used to them.

I got up early, ate my Cheerios and headed out. It was chillier than it has been so I was in a long sleeve t, hoodie and black sweat pants. I took gloves with me this time, too. Same old baseball cap.

My route was the same but I ran in the street this time. After my conversation with Karen, I knew that it would be better for my knees. I don't know if it made any difference in the actual running, but it will probably save me some pain in the long run.

My stamina was pretty good. I made it through all of the runs except for about 5 seconds on #5. I pushed that one just a little to get across Becket and so slowed a tiny bit early. My route remained the same but I got to the final hill a bit earlier this time. I pushed through it and ended strong. Yay!

I must say, the cool down walk cresting the hill of Camp Fire Trail at sunrise is quite stunning and enjoyable. I feel such a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

Keep it up!

I am nervous about W3. I am considering running one more day of W2 for the comfort of my mental state and my lung strength. It is not weakness - it is taking it slow so I can build up my strength.
