So I did my C25K training today. Aren’t these things supposed to get easier, not more difficult? I’m thinking maybe I should change up my route again or something, because I had a hard time getting through today. I mean, it wasn’t as bad as the first time I tried week 3, no where near, but it was still a little more difficult than it had been. I’m going to try taking a different route on Monday, and maybe starting week 4 again. Maybe that’s the kick in the tush that I need.
So I took my heart rate monitor on my walk today, and it was quite useful. It also has a thing that tells you how far you’ve walked and how many miles per hour you’re walking, and I think I used those more than the monitor itself. I’d check my speed, and if it dipped below where I wanted to be, I upped the intensity. And made it back in an hour and thirty minutes. It used to take me that to walk the four mile loop.
I was thinking the other day, back when I first moved here with my mum, we walked a couple times, just up to the end of the street and back. One day we went further, almost three miles, and I thought I was going to die. She suggested that maybe one day we could go even further, out over the highway, and I told her she was nuts. There was no way I could ever walk that far. Well, that’s the loop I’ve been walking four times a week. I’m amazed at how far I’ve come.
