Rainy day and 45 degrees had me checking out the workout room at "The Beacon" for my second week of "Couch to 5K." In the words of my dad, "Holy Flypaper Batman!" -- the second week increases running 50% to 90 second (yes) intervals with 2 minutes in between. Gasping for breath and really enjoying the 2 minutes in between I made it through with 5 minutes cool down on either end in 40 minutes!
Bad things about treadmills:
-- You can convert your workout into calories -- i didn't even burn up a Snickers.
-- It keeps you on pace unless you adjust it, my quick walk was at 3.2, run at 4.5
-- Time goes by very slowly and you can watch every second!
Good things about treadmills:
-- The HOA pays for good cable service so there's more channels than at home!
-- You don't get wet when it rains
-- They let you know you actually went 2.1 miles in 40 minutes
I am really glad I've started something before Saturday's actual start of Team in Training. I'm also a bit surprised that 132 days from today I'll be in San Diego thinking I can make it 13.2 miles. Have a great day!
