I got up this morning after snoozing my alarm twice (just another 10 minutes....please!), tied my shoes and headed out the door. I am on week 2: workout 2 of the training plan and the first workout of week 2 was great, it didn't feel that much more challenging, nothing hurt while I was doing it, etc.
Today was another story. My knees were a little sore right from the beginning but they were feeling better by the end. But by that time other things were hurting and I was tired! It didn't feel all that great at all! Here are my theories about why it was harder. Number one: I did one extra jogging set because my husband is home today and I didn't have to worry about being back. Number two: I took a different route which includes a rather large hill that I go both ways on. Number three: I took yesterday totally off and didn't even take a walk. Maybe all of that combined made for more struggling this morning.
On the other hand, I guess if it never feels hard then it probably isn't building up my endurance and muscles strength. Right? And I'm excited for this evening because my sister wants to try it with me. She also says she can't run but she's up for a trial I guess! She's convinced she'll be dying by the end. She even told me she doesn't want to eat before we go because she thinks she'll puke. I don't think she realizes how early on I am too and how do-able this is. So I'll show her! And then hopefully tomorrow when I finish with my morning out I won't be saying "That was a toughie!"
