Sunday Funday W1D3

W1D3 reprise. 
I feel really good.

I decided to do my W1D3 over again since Thursday night's try and semi-fail.

I got the Ullrey podcasts onto the ipod and it really helped. He has some techno poppy music for all the stages and his voice is soothing and encouraging. It was so nice not to have to look at my watch or keep track in my head. The music kept me going and let me focus on milestones such as "to that mailbox" or "to the signpost and turn around." I also feel like I slowed down the running. It was pretty much the fat girl shuffle but my breathing was easier (not EASY, easiER) and I'll be able to see my progress more clearly and not get so discouraged.

I did have a bit of a failing on the second to last run. I just couldn't tough it out - it was going uphill (bad bad planning on my part) and I stopped to a walk about 15 seconds too soon. I'm going to cut myself a little slack on that one and focus on how good it feels to have finished Week 1. And to possibly change my course.

Week 2 scares me just a little.
Oh well, day off tomorrow. We'll see how Tuesday treats me.
