Cto5k Week 3, Day 1!

Woohoo!!!
60 F
Mostly Sunny
Wind from W at 7 mph

When i first came outside to stretch in just a tee (that's made of a thick mesh) and knit capris i was a bit chilly (of course, i was mostly in the shade and the breeze was coming straight at me). Once i got started the weather was lovely. i finished my first interval without any problem, but i wondered how i was ever going to run 3 minutes straight because i felt like i had barely made it. My next interval i just started slower, pushed through it, and for the last minute changed it up to 1:1 breathing. And i made it! By the time i had walked 3 minutes i was definitely ready to go again. The next interval was easy, i wasn't even tired. For my last interval i really had to push, but i could tell it was because of my still diminished lung capacity (curse you, thin mountain air!). About halfway through my last cd i felt like running again and broke into a comfortable speed for about a minute. i didn't get out of breath or tired, i just felt like i had some extra energy to burn. i'm so excited that i actually ran 3 minutes straight! And i had no cramping or stitches or anything! It's so beautiful outside, too.
