Needless to say I was sore all of today. Thats was more than expected though. But, looking at my schedule and knowing i wanted to get three runs in by saturday - and that i work tomorrow and besides that have a fairly physical day planned out in terms of gardening, today was day 2 for me. It was cold enough here i went out in a sweater - except for when i went out for the run because boy does that make me sweaty. I feel a lot like the cartoon - huffing, puffing, sweating and not exactly the prettiest thing to look at. But isnt that the point of doing a couch to 5k? That you start off as couch (potatoe im assuming is the implied image) and end up somewhere where you could never imagine yourself being?
I really didn't want to go out today. It was cold, I was sore, I'm still lazy LOL. It took me a nap before i was even ready to do it but that is not unexpected either. And I keep thinking, this far into my journey back to health (this isnt my first step) I should take a picture to see whats changed as there was a picture of me taken near the beginning of the year that was a bit of scary to see. You know the one, the candid shot where someone has caught all the worst parts of you and you look at it and can't believe you look like that?
So the message of today is that I did manage to complete this run. My pace was even a bit faster although it sure felt a lot slower today. My app/gps system says i went further and moved faster and i will trust the system for now. I even didn't die during the run though at points it sure felt like it. Jogging and wondering "when will this minute end?!?!?". I'm doing this, I'm committed to doing this but....at what point does this become fun and lifestyle like?
