Cto5k W8 Complete!

Ugh, i don't feel good today, though oddly i was overeager to run. My first two laps i ran too fast, and my muscles didn't like it. i didn't get any cramps, but my legs were tight, so i had to pause and stretch once, and paused to drink more than usual (which added to the length of my workout time, because i would pause the music and drink water walking back and forth, then resume my run). Not my strongest finish, but i'm excited to run 30 minutes straight come Monday. i'm sooo glad that it's the weekend, but am not looking forward to work tomorrow. Incidentally, i used the track in the indoor gym for the first time (because i wanted to run, not use the elliptical, but it's too wet outside), and as predicted i didn't like it. 13.7 laps = 1 mi., so i had trouble keeping track of my laps, and i'm not sure that i counted them right.

The good news that i have to report... i lost 3 pounds! /woot

Yippee on your 3 pound loss!

Incidentally, we used the track at Stocker from 1-3 pm and had no problems. Not sure what time you ran.

i got out of class just before 3, but was hesitant to go to Stocker with all the water on the ground. The last thing i need right now is to twist/sprain/break something. As it was, i fell down outside the library and scraped my knee at about 4:40.
