Day 2 A Great Run
Today I had my best run so far. As I mentioned earlier I started week 2 day 1 of the couch to 5k and it was a breeze. In fact I added 2 extra series of runs because I was not fatigued at the end. My 5K was 37'45" not that impressive but great for a start. I have been so "jacked up" the rest of the day. I just can't stop thinking about how great that run was. How it seemed so effortless for most of the run. I was glad I took Wednesday off to recover, but I am wishing I didn't have to recover .I am ready to do this again tomorrow. If anybody reads this and has been in my shoes please comment with advise or some words of wisdom.

Way to go Michael!! Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteBeen there before. It's a natural high. Nothing starts the day off better than a run!
ReplyDeleteMy only advice is to enjoy the downtime days in the beginning. As you're getting started you're more subject to plantar fascitis. You don't want this as it will knock you out for a while. Let the feet and legs get used to the wear and tear first then ramp up mileage.
Great comment, Eric. He has done a lot of these. Michael, you are my hero. You have taken on a challenge that most of society won't touch, including me. Do not quit. Make it lifetime activity. I wish I could find time, but my day is 11.5 hours of work and travel and I, at my age, am bushed by the time I get home. Maybe you have a suggestion for me. Anyway, I can't wait to see you and let you describe this activity for me. Lots of love, Pops...
ReplyDeleteYou will be running 5 miles in no time! I hope I willbe running right beside you soon. Love you!!
