Day 4 April 21, 2011 Easy Day, Cold and sunny outside 1 C
When one lays things out the night before to be ready to run in the morning - make sure that includes everything. I hopped into my toasty heated running gear then- oh oh where are my gloves? Where is my hat? Not where I dropped them when I returned from my run yesterday. Someone has tidied up. Not me. 5 minutes wasted trying to find two items that at 1 degree C I was determined to not leave without. Note to self not to let that happen again.
Its my Easy Day - 15 minutes. I started out stiff and creaky but settled into a really easy gait. Still working on form. Went as far as 5th Ave and back - 16 minutes. Came in, did the coffee and water grab and onto the stationery bike. Did my 7 minute bike, 3 minutes exercise times 3 and then hopped into the sauna for 20 minutes. Oh that felt good! I added another pushup to my routine. Shouldn't be too impressed with myself as these are still ladies pushups! Oh well, I have to start somewhere.
Just remembered the other decision Jerry and I made about my training. We decided for me to train by time rather than distance. He thought that would be less stressful than worrying about getting my kilometers in each day. Most programs tell you how many kilometers or miles to run each day. The one other time I trained that way, I had my personal best for a marathon.
The other special thing about Jerry, he asks me every day how my run went . It makes me feel accountable.
