Week 2

Oof...day 1 of week 2 was a rough one. I didn't have time to post about it yesterday, had some stuff I needed to take care of. It was raining most of the day so I didn't know if I 'd be able to fit in my run. But I walked out at one point, saw a double rainbow (!) and decided to go for my run. It was hot and humid, like 78 degrees and 96% humidity. This week calls for a 5-min warm-up and cool-down and 6 sets of 90 seconds jogging and 2 minutes walking.

Right as my warm-up walk was about to end, I got a phone call and voice mail and an email that didn't let me hear when it was time to jog. So I missed the first minute of the first jog. Not the best start, but it's okay. I was able to finish the 31 minutes and jogged the rest of the jogs. I started getting cramps during my last jog but I pushed through. Note to self, hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. I definitely did not drink nearly enough water. I sweat up quite a storm. I ran a total of 2.10 miles at a 14:42 pace. A little slower than before, but given the conditions and slight mess up at the beginning, I don't think I did too shabby.

Now I just need to work on my diet. I am going to see a nutritionist in 2 weeks so hopefully that will help me. Now that they're done revamping my apartment, I can cut up my fruit and freeze smoothie packets and cook some nice dinners.

It's hard work but I'm on my way.
