(Wednesday 5:55am)
Emotions (before):
I was back into routine mode today. A robotic type of manner, where I got up, dressed, stretched and off I went. It was great. There was no umming and ahhing, just straight into it. I was actually looking forward to it when I went to bed last night. I was ready for today's session.
The run:
Well, if my mind was in a calm, collected, routine mode - the run was not! What a shambles! My iPod music would not work with the running app, the running app was not keeping time, the coach would only tell me sometimes when to walk/run. On top of that there was a seagull who thought he was magpie, who followed me a third of the way, squawking and hovering above me. I think he even tried to swoop me.
It was all up to me this morning. And I did it.
Yes my times may have been off and I didn't have the zip in my step from the music, but I self-motivated myself to run and walk. The app was not completely down, so I still used it as a loose guide.
In my last run, I set mini distance goals to help me stick to some sort of time. If I got to that goal and still had some steam, I kept going and set another finish line. I think I ran the longest I have yet (okay, it was far for me!). I estimated that I may have run for half a minute more than I should of. Oh I was definitely sucking the air in, hands on hips and dribbling everywhere. It was a good mix up running to the sound of my own steps, setting my own goals.
I won't be in a hurry to do it again though! I hope my app works again! I need the coach. It was difficult always checking the time, I lost rhythm and had to slow down.
But I was goooooood this morning! I am so proud of my final 3 minute run.
Tips for next run:
- Make sure everything is working the night before!
