Tuesday new day W4D2

W4D2

So I'm back on schedule. After 4 days on the bench and a reprise run of W3 to get back in the game, I did my W4D2 today. I did the old route, too. As it turns out, our house has hills on every side.

I added a slight bit of distance going up Fence Line and back during the first 5 min and heading down the cul-de-sac off Wheeler's Branch for the second 3 min. I still ended up trying to finish the 2nd 5min going up that damn hill on Chuck Wagon. Well, on Thursday, I plan to ditch the extra steps on Fence Line and the cul-de-sac and turn up Wagon Train. Hopefully, I will hit that incline during my recovery walk and take the last 5 min run going downhill on Chuck Wagon.

We'll see.

So the walk felt good. My ankle seemed fine. Even the first 3 min run went well. I'm always surprised when it ends so quickly. 90 sec of recovery and on to the first 5 min. Once again I had to stop the podcast and walk it out for about 30 seconds to catch my breath and recoup. Then I turned it on again and finished the run. Does that technically count as a 5 min run if I took 30 sec out of it but stopped the timer?  2 min recover and on to the second 3 min. It was a push to finish but I did it. The second 5 min brought me to Beckett again so I stopped the podcast and waited to cross the street. Morning traffic jam. Another 30-40 sec later and I started it up. Almost made the entire run but the aforementioned hill killed me.

I'm looking forward to Thursday. Bring it.
