Week 4 Day ... ?

Today was a strange day.  I had every intention of following C25K W4D3.

However.  Logan woke me up at 5:00 AM.  I knew if I tried to go back to sleep, that I would hit snooze until 8:00 and be REALLY late for work.  (ahem)  So I decided just to stay up and get going.  Took a shower and was out the door before 6:30, at work by 7:00.  I think that's a new personal record.  Very busy day - (in a good way!) and didn't leave til almost 4:30.  yikes.  We went to karate for 1.5 hours and got home at 7:30.

I knew it would be too much to try to get Logan to go jogging after being up so long and after 90 minutes of karate.  So I took the dog for a walk by myself.  At some point I decided just to start jogging to see how far I could go - how far I could push myself.  I started in my preferred 'starting point' because it's an intersection and easy to remember.  I kept going.  and going.  And I felt great!  I surpassed my previous 'end point'.  After I got home and logged it - it was over a MILE!!  (1.02 to be exact!)  My 'active minutes' according to my pedometer was 14, but I'm not sure if I had accumulated any during the day.  So about a 14 minute mile!  Not too shabby!  Considering just four weeks ago 60 and 90 second intervals were hard!

My knees feel a little... worked.  So I'm not sure if I'll count this as my official W4D3 run or not.  I had looked ahead and got really nervous.  W5D3 has a 20 minute run.  I was panicking and thinking I wouldn't be able to do it.  Now I think it's do-able.  I think if I found more of a flat route it would be easier.  There are a couple of hilly areas that I notice that's where I struggle.

I am freaking tired now!  But homework to do!  Ugh.  I can't wait to go to bed tonight!
