W5D1

Wahey!

I ran the first run of week 5!! I can't believe I'm here. This was sort of my first milestone - getting to week 5 and now it's here. :-)

And because 3 times 5 minutes of running sounded kind of mild (what is this program doing to me? LOL) I tried running the whole thing at 155 bpm and I actually made it! Haha! Mad!

If I manage to also run w5d2 at 155 bpm then I'm also going to try the 20 minutes of w5d3 at that speed too, which will be even madder. I do want to eventually run the 25 minutes at that speed too, so I might as well start this now.

We ran a very different way today and it was raining badly. And we didn't care :-) At least I didn't. Don't know about the dog :-D

I did get out of breath a little in the first run, but I ran through it as always and it went away. I didn't need the 3 minutes of walking to recover. Like I always seem to say: it wasn't easy, but it definitely wasn't hard.
My left knee is still hurting slightly , but it's a dull ache that goes away during the running and is not really there during the day either, except after having sat down for a while. I'm still thinking it's a growing pain, and a good reminder for me to take my rest days seriously.

W5d2, we're ready for you :-)
