Or maybe that is just the endorphins that just kicked in. Ha Ha. I'm not sure but today's 5 and 1 run went really well and I feel so good right now. I had to do some extra stretching and use the foam roller on the IT band because I can already tell that it is getting tight after only a few weeks of short runs. But the stretching and foam roller, I am hoping will keep me pain free and allow me to continue on this journey.
Well, as we all know, I don't read directions very well and evidently I have been supposed to have been running 4 times a week, not 3. LOL! I am not following this program to the letter, am I? Oh well, atleast I am getting something done. What I figure is that I can finish out this week as a 5 and 1 - 3 times and next week start the week over again with the 2- 5 and 1's and the 2- 6 and 1's I am supposed to do. :) This program is going to take me longer than 8 weeks but I am having fun with it so I guess that's ok.
If anyone is interested, I am doing the 8-week beginner runner program from runnersworld.com. So far, so good for me. If you want to become a runner, maybe you should try it. :)
