Week 5 - ready or not!

So last night I did the 'official' W4D3 run.  It was a lot easier than the first day.  I think I need to come up with better running courses to avoid some of the hillier areas in my neighborhood.  That and fuel up properly.  Sometimes on busy nights I don't get to eat a full meal, and just having a light snack doesn't seem to cut it for me.

Tonight we went to a new place for dinner - Wayback Burgers - So SO delicious.  Double bacon cheeseburger with tons of toppings, sans bun.  It was so freaking good.  onions, jalapenos, pickles.. Mmmm! And I had a lot of energy when I got home.  So I took the dog for a nice walk to get up to my 7,000 steps for the day.  I could have kept going but it was getting late and I don't like walking by myself at night for too long.

I notice that I'm getting stronger and less jiggly.  This morning I was able to do a side plank in yoga that I hadn't really been able to do successfully before.  My instructor talked about how it can be challenging, or it can be a struggle.  And side planks have always been a struggle, like ridiculously so.  Today it was definitely a challenge, but I didn't feel like it was impossible or that I was going to die, like it normally had been.

So Monday starts week 5.  I can't believe it!  Day 1 is three 5 minute jogging intervals with two 3 minute walking.  Then Day 2 is Jog 8 minutes, walk 5, jog 8.  But the kicker is Day 3 - no walking intervals! 20 minutes of jogging!  Holy crap I hope I can do it!  One day and one workout at a time!
