week 4, day 2 (workout 11)

i'm not sure that i should label this post week 4 day 2. i missed the cue to change from jogging to walking, so i ended up running for 9:30 straight, walked for 2 minutes, 30 seconds and then ran again for 9:30, because the first set felt pretty good. i'm not quite sure what to do next- should i follow the rest of the program or build off of this because it went well?

i'm also really proud of myself today. i'm moving this afternoon, and even though i had planned on running today, i was so stressed last night that i thought to myself "if i don't run tomorrow morning, it's not a big deal". i gave myself an out. and this morning, i woke up before my alarm (getting into a routine here!!) and lied in bed. i thought, do i want to go outside? i checked the weather, and it was a little chilly (60 degrees), and for a moment, i thought: i'm going to skip it tonight. not a big deal, it's just a run.

but then i thought: it feels so good to have a run done. it's 30 minutes of my day- i can do this. so i got up and out the door and did it. and do you know what- it feels pretty freaking good to have it done.

i'm really proud of myself. i think the last three weeks might change the way i approach exercise. i think today was a big internal breakthrough, and to be honest, a big physical one as well- i almost ran 10 minutes straight- weeks ahead of time!!
