We started week 2 of the C25K today.  It went well, with the upped running time. 
Slow is still the name of the game, with the walk/run we averaged at 16:22 miles.  Ugh. 

So like last time, working on time, then we'll make sure we're up for the distance, then we'll work on speed. 

I pushed play for the second time this week and did a bit of Zumba.  It was good to get through a short work out.  (and amazing how quickly you can work up a sweat)

It's funny though, I've found exercise makes me angry.  Mostly the build up to getting it done.  It put me in a bad mood thinking about needed to get home and get it done. 

Once started it was fine, up until the 1st song as about a 1/4 of the way through, it just made me mad. 

Something else that will hopefully get better with time.

C25K day 2x2

We are doing week 1 of the C25K twice because the first week was awful. 

Today it felt better.  I was able to open my stride a bit, so hopefully that will lead to faster times later on. 

Monday we ran slower than today, so that was a plus.  It wasn't quite so daunting to get out there either. 

I'm struggling mentally with running right now.  More so  that I'm upset with myself for ever stopping in the first place when I had gotten myself to higher miles.  This go around I'm bound and determined to make it work and just keep running.  The goal is to run between 3 and 4 miles three times a week after we get through the C25K program.  Races or not, just keeping up with the running so I can work on longer distances next year. 

Day 1 of C25K with the boys. 

Ouch.

5 min warm up, ran 60 sec and walked 90 sec for 18.5 min with a 5 min cool down. 
Mapping it out, the run/walk portion was 1.17 miles, averaging 15.46 min/mile pace. 

Good god, why did I ever stop running?  I hate doing stuff over that I've already done before. Hoping this will get easier and that my body will decide to respond quickly to the exercise. 

Everyone needs new shoes, weekend shopping here we come!
