Very proud of myself for going out to run today. There were a lot of factors that would have usually detracted me from not running today. I didn’t get a good night’s sleep last night and it started raining right as I was about to step out to run. I guess some of this self-improvement stuff I’m doing along side this running program is helping, because I decided to run anyway. Fortunately, it stopped raining as soon as I started running.

Today was significantly less difficult than Day 2. I was able to catch my breath a lot easier during the 90 second intervals of walking, and only found it very difficult towards the last 2 sets of 1-minute jogging. I also noticed that the speed at which I’m running has also slightly improved. I’m covering more ground. Bonus!

I’m still hesitant to move onto the next round of routines, which is running for 90 seconds and walking for 2 minutes. But I’m definitely going to try it on Monday. I’m actually looking forward to it! I was also thinking of picking up a pedometer. Does it help?

I’m also not completely resting during the weekend, I’m most likely going hiking tomorrow on our usual 3-4 hour hikes. I’m curious to see if my running this week improved my hiking skills.
