Day 36

Yup, keeping track of the days like this is going to be difficult so may have to say-Month2, Day 6 or something- will get back on that.
Did the W6D2 session of C25k and just could not finish it. Ran the first 10 min at an Ok speed, cant tell exactly 'cos the tmill is still not set right, but the second 10 min was bad, had to walk after 5 min. Dont know why, I had actually eaten very sensibly last night but yes, missed the stretching/strengthening session on tuesday and yesterday just did not feel like getting out of bed in the dark and running on the tmill. So missed 2 days of working out and had to pay for it today-thats not fair!
Had planned to do 6 workouts each week for these 2 weeks before went for vacation but I guess you cant hoard the sessions. Now should I repeat W6D2 session again tomorrow till I get it right or do the W6d3 session of running straight for 25 min??. Will go to the coolrunning C25kers for this.
