Another week done. 5 more to go. A buddy of mine in the service, had taken up running for a while, and one day just stopped. Oh, he continued with PT and such, but in hs spare time he had been running as well. The reason he gave for stopping the running in his spare time had nothing to do with finding something else to do that was taking up his time, it had to do with the fact that he finished a run one day, felt ‘good’ and then realized that he had just run 10 miles, and felt good. In his world view, someone who has run 10 miles should not ‘feel good.’ Oh, he was OK with the endorphins, but he was not OK with the fact that he was not feeling any effects in his feet or llegs, etc.
I’m anything but in that boat at this point. But I can see me getting to the point where I’m pretty much OK with the 5k segment.
My workout today is already posted as a KML file. If you open maps.google.com then in the search field, type http://www.beresourceful.net/~rusty/c25k/May01.kml, you should see my course show up for today. It’s not perfect, when you zoom in close, you’ll see that it thinks I wandered through some walls on an apartment building, and spent a lot of time on people’s lawns and suck. I gues I can say that fortunately it doesn’t show me swimming at 49 miles an hour though.
S stuck with the road I started the run on today, and ended up a block from the next major cross road. where I traveled around the block, and came most of the way back on the street one street over. I walked and ran on that till I got back to the cross street that I had used Monday and Tuesday, followed that to the bottom of the hill, went around the lake, and then followed the street that had confused me on Monday, ending the final run a block north of where I ended up turning on Monday.
Odd as it may seem, I’m looking forward to the bbegining of next week now. Part of that is the wanting to get this over with part of me, the other part is looking forward to having different schedules each of the three days next week, as well as for the week following. I’m still not enthused about Friday’s run this next week, but that will happen, so I’ll take that on as it get’s here.
Till next time, have fun.
