WiW: Week 9
Weight: 148.0
Waist: 30.5
Hips: 38
Thigh: 24
It's late, so I'll make this quick.
I cannot BELIEVE that I started working out 9 weeks ago, and that on Friday I'll run the last of my C25K program. It doesn't seem like it's been that long, but the state of my lungs and the length of time I can run begs to differ. So do the temperatures! It's getting hot, and even by 9pm it's still hot enough to make running hard.
I've started running late to try to avoid the heat. It's not ideal, getting back at 10 and trying to cool down and fall asleep (or write about exercising!)
I'm starting to see a pattern on my runs, too. I'm not sure if it's because it's Wednesday, and my legs haven't had enough rest, or because it's Day 2 of each week and my legs haven't adjusted to the new distance, or if it's something entirely coincidental and/or unrelated, but mid-week I have a really hard time finishing my run. My legs feel like lead, I'm working hard to breathe, and my side cramp comes back. I don't look forward to mid-week so much anymore.
