Sigh...

No run today, which is very disappointing. I got to bed late Tuesday night, and woke up early, and proceeded to have an exhausting day. Last night I got to bed in a timely fashion only to be woken up at 3:45am by my downstairs neighbors' thumping bass. I did the risky thing and pounded on their door, and they quieted down, but it still robbed me of precious sleeping time. So I gave in and reset the alarm to sleep to my usual time, not "Get up and RUN!!!!" time.

This is the first time I have passed on a run in the morning, and it makes me feel as though I have failed somehow. I know I need to take the long view and realize that there will be many more days to run and that if I needed to sleep, then sleeping was the smart choice, but grrrrr. It's just been a crap week, and a good running session would have helped.

3/2!

Today's workout-- finally up to 3 minutes running, 2 minutes walking!

5 minute warmup at 3.3
35 minutes 3/2-- running at 4.6, walking at 3.4
5 minute cooldown at 3.0

12 minutes stretching after

My left knee bothered me some towards the end, and I could feel the tendons across the front of my left hip twanging, but all in all, a really good workout! It's starting to feel less effort-full and more natural. And I am not gasping for air like I was at the beginning.
