Day 28

W5D2 of C25k, 5 min warmup, 2 sets of 8 min at 4.5mph and 5 min at 3.7mph. That was the goal, but had to decrease speed in the second set by .2mph because of the shin splints. But i did finish the whole set, so that is good.
It doesnt get easier, atleast it hasnt in the last 4 weeks, but after the workout is great, I almost start smiling- must be the endorphins.
I want to do a survey- do the thinner unfit/deconditioned people who start running find it easier than the fitter heavier people. I keep thinking if I were 30 pounds lighter, I might not be panting at the end of each session, but then I also remember a walking session when I was 18 years old, being left behind eating the dust, by my middle aged , more active parents.
On the eating front, yay for me, did not touch the peanut butter Ritz bitz calling out to me. On the other hand did eat slivers of the brownie baked by the kids enough to equal a quarter pan but we will come to that later.
I am challenging GB to a week of not eating pre-packaged foods. Loser pays for the pedicures at the end of the month.
