Week 3: walk for 5 minutes and then jog 90 sec, walk 90 sec, jog 3 min, walk 3 min, repeat. Total workout time: 23 minutes
For my first run during week 3 I decided to go running in the morning.. only I woke up really late. I ended up starting my run at 7am when I needed to be showered and ready to go at school before 8am. whoops! This run sticks out in my mind because my legs just felt like concrete. It wasn't as refreshing as my other runs had been.
The second run that week was better. I seem to discover something new about running every time I go. At the end of this run, I realized that the whole arm pumping thing is more than just to look cool. You actually do that in order to give yourself momentum. duh!
I ran the third time that week when I was at the lake. That was pretty good, but my legs hurt. It was like the bone in my shins ached. It was very uncomfortable and had me thinking I was doing something wrong. I don't think it's shin splints, but maybe it is. Anyway, by the end of the week, it was a lot easier to complete the run.. yeah!
