Week 3 Day 1

So today I completed the first day of week 3. Yes, I didn't complete week 2 last week, I admit it, it got away from me. Amelia has been teething and waking up every hour for the last few nights and I just couldn't drag myself out of bed. And I didn't run yesterday because I couldn't find my iPod, I need it to help with timing and everything. But I ended up finding it last night (behind a bookcase in the hall) and so this week I'll run T,Th,Sat.

However, since I felt that I could handle week 2 pretty well, I again decided to stay on schedule and start with week 3 today as planned. I know I don't have too many more weeks where I can skip like this, and I'm pleasantly surprised that my fitness level is higher than I originally thought. I guess all the walking in London helps a bit.

But back to today's topic, this week's runs consist of a 5 minute warm up/90 second run/90 second walk/3 minute run/3 minute walk/90 second run/90 second walk/3 minute run/5 minute cool down.

So basically the time spent running is the same as last week, it's just in different intervals and you're running for longer periods. I thought today's run actually went by faster, I guess it's feels faster to be half way done after two runs than it does after 3 or 4.

So yeah, good run. It was cold, cold, cold though this morning in London...yikes I really hope it starts to warm up. In a way it was nice, because I was looking forward to the running parts, just to stay warm.

Well that's it. I'm determined (as always) to actually complete the entire week this time, mostly because next week is a killer (at least according to those who have done it before). I'm very much looking forward to being right next to Regent's Park when I start doing my longer runs, as there is a trail that is just under 5k, so that will be nice.

See you on Thursday!
