Day 21

W4D2 of C25k, 2 sets of 3min at4.5mph ,2min at 3.7mph, 5min at 4.5mph, 3 min at 3.7mph , total 2.25 miles in 35 min inc.warmup and cool down.
Not a star workout, no just average, had to push myself at the end of each session of running due to the leg pain. Lets see how I do with the next one.

GB was reading my previous posts and she feels I write gibberish when I describe my workout as above. She has not read the very detailed reports of the experienced runners detailing the heart rates and the elevation , the daily,weekly and monthly mileage , the PR times for the 5k,10k,1/2 marathon and the marathons, the weather while running, the shoes and clothes they were wearing, what they ate and drank before, during and after the run, how they felt before during and after the run etc. The more I read about running and go on these various sites it seems as if the runners inhabit a world of their own with a different language and we still have to learn that.

Another thing I read yesterday-runners are not supposed to do yoga-they need some tension in their muscles and yoga stretches the muscles too well. This is as per Budd Coates marathoner quoted from The Complete Book of Running for Women. Dont really think that will affect me much as I am not regular with the yoga and when I do do it ,its minimal.

Planning a 3 mile run/walk tomorrow in the morning before gorging on the pumpkin pie whith whipped cream on top. Atleast I eat like a runner even tho I donot run like a runner ,YET.
