Went alone today, GB too tired because she had done the r/w session yesterday too. And I had missed it because just could not get myself up.
Then realised I was as stiff and tired at 630AM as I would have been at 430AM, so those 2 extra hours of sleep didnt help much.
Today went for a shorter session of 2.1miles, tried to run faster but then the walk intervals got too slow, so it averaged out to 13.6minmile, also I bent over to tie my shoe once, and also stopped to let a car pass at the stop sign- that should be another 30 seconds- what am I? an Olympic athlete? talking in seconds, but u no wot- each 30 sec matter when one has to move faster than the sweepers at the marathon!
I have to really thank GB today. I was going over my log and realised -- I had been doing all my workout sessions on the t-mill at the same pace everyday with no intention of trying to go faster. She got me started on running outside, which does help-I would have not tried it on my own.And she also pushed me to try and run and walk faster. I might have eventually done it, but it is harder to work thru the mind on ones own. And she also increased the distance of the weekly sessions, or else I would have just done 3 miles in45 min and beenhappy about it. So heres to my marathon partner -may we finish our marathon before the allotted time ,and in one piece, andbe able to function as human beings later, and do a 100 more marathons in our life!!
