Day 13
I was bad over the weekend, I tried to make up for it with a walk on Sunday which seemed to help I only gained .4 lbs.
Couch to 5k
On paper I didn’t think I would be able to do this, before today, the longest I ran was for 3 minutes and that was a record that I set for myself on Monday of last week! I was determined to give it a try. At this point I want to give credit to the pod casters I listen to who run and record a podcast. The only words that seem to be able to come out of my mouth while running is a mix language of grunting and cursing. So I started out my run while at a slow pace, staring at a snails butt while I did this little half run walk combo that looked like I must be the cousin of that big foot creature they claimed to have caught last week.
After three minutes I felt better than I did after any previous run. I only had a minute and a half to rest before the devil of a website said I had to run 5 minutes. I tried to slow my walk before the hellish run, the timed seemed to fly. After that short 5 second break I started to run, now looking like that cousin but with a cast on my leg and my hair on fire.
Somehow after only what seemed like a few moments I looked at the time and magically the time said I only had 30 seconds. I felt great, I was about to finish (sadly) my longest run ever! With about 10 seconds left I noticed on my left that snail slither beside me but that didn’t matter. I still made it and I can’t wait for Wednesday.
