Sore calves and lead legs... c25k day #2

Oooow. I keep reminding myself that it will get easier... but I read somewhere that it doesn't. Those sayings flash through my head "No pain, no gain" and .. well that was it. There is also "Just do it" but that just reminds me of Waterboy - "You can do it" (said by Rob Schneider)...

But what really got me through today was the determination not to flunk out of the fun run. I imagined myself trying to keep up with people, everyone starting together and then me puffing and panting back to a walk after a minute. And then I lose Christine cos she's so awesome she can do what I can't in 34 minutes. I don't want to do that... I want to jog the whole 5ks.... is it possible ?

So today was day 2 of c25k... I did the podcast twice on the 5.79k route from my place to the other end of the street and back. You are only supposed to do the podcast once 3 times a week.. but you know me... go hard or go eat something ;p

I'm not doing all the intervals... on the first go, I get through the first 4 intervals... and then walk through number 5 and then i think i miss maybe 1 of the following 3... and on the way back, i do whatever I think I can handle... the very last interval before getting home i thought I was gonna stop breathing or choke on air or something.. but I pushed through it :)

Anyway, another day, another muscle broken...
