Experiment #1: Couch to 10k in 20 Weeks (Day 4)

First of all, many thanks to Elizabeth for keeping me honest. ;P

I stalled on my C210k plan for a couple of reasons:

  • It just felt too easy! I know that I need to start slowly, to avoid re-injuring my back, but having so many days off was strange. I am used to rushing around, trying to fit everything into my busy life. Yes, I am aware of how self-important that sounds. That said, I'm calling out a significant percentage human beings who do the exact same thing. Easy or not, I just need to stick to the schedule. It won't always be so simple.
  • Weather. I picked the worst time of the year to start running. I would much rather be outside than in a gym, but the snow and ice has made me nervous. I love it, but not the prospect of falling. It is time to start packing my gym bag and scheduling some extra time into my weekly schedule. If I could do it for physical therapy, I can do it for this.

I started a Week 2 reboot today. It was frigid, so I took my walk indoors...in Target, actually. Tuesday is my next scheduled walk, so I'll be back to check in soon!

I don't know about your forecast, but Tuesday here is supposed to be much warmer. Enjoy your walk!
