well not for my LIFE exactly but for the safety of my ankles.... got yapped and lunged at by a small dog while out running today and got such a fright I ran on an extra 30 seconds past my 90 second time!! Adrenalin, works wonders on tired legs. What is it with these small dogs - is there such a thing as small dog syndrome? do they have to try and kill/maim/fight/chase/hump everything they see just to prove they are as good as the big dogs? annoying little things!
Enough about the dog. Todays run was week 2 sesh 3. It was absolutely chucking it down most of the day and I waited and waited and waited till I couldn't wait any longer and had just resolved to get wet when the rain eased off at last, so off I went about 3.30pm. It was easier today, even when the wind was in my face it was easier. I enjoyed it much more as it was cooler - just a nice temp for running. And because I figured out how to use the Nike+ the other night I now know that I covered a total of 4.22k during my session and I burned a total of 247 calories.
I had a bit of a tizz with the iPod during the warm up and inadvertently ff'd to week 3. I somehow managed to fumble it back to where it had been in the week 2 podcast and got it back in the armband just as she was telling me to start running, but I know I didn't walk as fast as I normally do in those first 5 mins while I tried to sort it out. Didn't seem to matter though as I was fine. I have noticed that I barely ache now after a run. There's not a single twinge in my legs tonight, that has to mean I'm ready to move on to week 3. Tomorrow is a recovery day, then back at it on Friday.
I was still a couple of minutes away from home when the podcast finished after the cool down so I had a sneaky listen to the start of week 3 to see what I will be doing. 3 minute runs!!! Panicking about that - 90 seconds is one thing - but 3 mins??? eeeek! am I ready for 3 mins?? I have followed the program to the letter, so if it works I should be able to manage it right? I'm not confident at ALL. I guess I will find out on Friday.....
