Cto5k Week 1, Day 2

It's kind of surreal, really. i've been considering taking up running for several years, and it wasn't until i found this program and the associated podcasts that i finally went out and did it. And i am doing it. Sure, today i substituted speedwalking for every other running interval, but i am running. i think i'm going to do Week 1 twice. The odd thing is that i've been sore, but at just the right level so i know it's working and not overtaxing myself. Also, i had more energy today and had to keep myself from taking off too soon, making sure i warmed up slowly and didn't run full out during any of the intervals. i'm going to have to build up to running a comfortable gait, right now i just can't sustain it for that long so i have to be patient and wait. Anyway, my workout went better today, more of a sustained elevation in heartbeat without overtaxing myself and wearing out too fast. i'm sure i'll do even better on Friday. Next week i'll do the same program again but try to run every running interval instead of substituting the speedwalking. i wonder what my weigh in will be like tomorrow after Beth Moore (at the weight loss group).
