There were three other ladies in the small gym. Thin, and looking
fit. I feel intimidated. I get on the only available treadmill and
start my warmup.
I start up also my two apps I need for my plan.
1) Nike plus (with iPod playlist)
2) c25k.
After about three minutes of warm up and app fiddling all things are
good to go.
The day 1 week 1 workout consists of 31 minutes. It has 9 - 1 minute
runs. It alternates with walking in between the 9 running sets.
I added about 5 min extra of warm up at the start and end.
I love walking, therefore let's just discuss the running.
1st run minute. Death. Piercing pain in my side and air burn in the
lungs. I did that tooooo fast too soon.
Each run from there was progressively better. I was a little scared
to get going as I don't have a lot of experience running.
The final run. I has started losing track as to what run I was on as
I stopped checking the app timer. A great song came on right as the
next chime for another run rang. I upped the speed to the highest
speed I had done so far and added a bit more. I soared in that
moment. I felt free as a bird. I couldn't even sense that I was
breathless or tired or anything. I was happy.
I was dissappointed when the minute was over. I cooled down and did
some stretches. I checked my times and calibrated my Nike plus. I
could definitely feel that my muscles were tired. Although I felt I
could do more I was glad I didn't do too much so I can do it again
tomorrow.
