Its Day 2 of the mission...well technically its day 3 but I missed a day yesterday and it surprised me as well how much it troubled me.
Normally I look for reasons to miss a workout and anything right from a slight drizzle to waking up in the middle of the night for 5 seconds...leading me to think that my sleep has bee disturbed. So yesterday when we suddenly decided to drive down to my aunts place, I actually started thinking about how I could fit in the run....unfortunately though it didn't happen and I ultimately ended up sleeping with this slight guilt prevailing...
So today with everyone in the family around and an excuse not too difficult, I surprised myself when suddenly I wanted to go out and run! The initial warm up 10 minutes had me wanting to run back into the house....and the first 5 minute run was soooo tough. It was almost like someone had attached weight to my back that was preventing me from going ahead....but I kept going...and before I knew I had done my 5/1 X 4 already...so 5/1 X 5 is 5 minutes of running or jogging followed by 1 minute of walk to be repeated 5 times. But I didn't manage to run 5 times...but not bad for Day 2 I thought.
The interesting parts of the run were a guy calling out when I was running "Good Exercise"...which had me wondering whether he was genuine or rather only mocking....but then his size made me believe maybe he genuinely meant it....and another young girl saying..."hey great...perfect time to jog..."...so the cynical me wondered again....but by the time I started thinking about it.....the endorphin rush...thanked all the people around...attributing the last 5/1 to the positive encouragement....!!
Feeling good and looking forward to tomorrow.....!!
