Sunday short W3D1

W3D1

So I was terrified of this 90 sec 90 sec 3 min 3 min X2 schedule and then I figured I should just jump in and do it.

The first 90 sec run went fine. I tried not to push myself so that I would save something for the rest of the workout. Then that 3 min run came up fast. I started out fine and then had to stop, walk and breathe for a few seconds. I DID start up running again - so there is that. Weirdly, I was distracted by a man who came out of his cul-de-sac ahead of me and walked for about a block and then started running. I don't know why. I kept thinking about myself in relation to him. I don't know if I was thinking about how I would look to him or if he could hear me laboring for breath but it threw me off. He probably didn't even know I was there.

I tried not to beat myself up for having to adjust my 3 min run and get the most out the 3 min walk that followed. The next 90 sec run went well and the 90 sec walk went by quickly. I stuck it out for the last 3 min run! I know I finished it but I have no real recollection of the event. Perhaps I blacked out and I'm still laying in the street and this is all a dream. Why has no one contacted my family yet??

So I tried to add on a bit of length to the route today - left on Fence Line, to Wm. Cannon and back down Fence Line but all it did was get me to the end of the workout by the tennis courts. It made for a lovely long walk home but wow did I misjudge that one! Apparently, this week is made up of 18 minutes of workout. I guess I'll go back to the original route and work it for the rest of the week.

sidenote: Mom called at midnight. Gram passed away yesterday evening.
