C25K Week 2 Day 2

I'm definitely excited about how things are going. I'm slowly building my endurance, and arguably could push myself more because the day after I run I'm generally not very sore at all (two days later, when I run again, I don't want to be sore, of course). But, then again, I don't want to push so hard that I put myself out of commission for a few days.

Hit the gym around 11:30 this morning.

Here's how I rolled today:
0.00-5.00 - 3.5 mph
5.00-6.30 - 5.7 mph
6.30-8.30 - 3.5 mph
8.30-10.00 - 5.7 mph
10.00-12.00 - 3.5 mph
12.00-13.30 - 5.7 mph
13.30-15.30 - 3.5 mph
15.30-17.00 - 5.7 mph
17.00-19.00 - 3.5 mph
19.00-20.30 - 5.7 mph
20.30-22.30 - 3.5 mph
22.30-24.00 - 5.7 mph
24.00-26.00 - 3.5 mph
26.00-31.00 - 3.0 mph


Total distance, 2.09 miles, which comes out to a 14:49 mile.


The scale also told me I'm down a total of 7 pounds today, which surprised me, though maybe it shouldn't have. I've been eating better and smaller portions the last few weeks, and have been more active. I'm guessing once I've lost 10-15 pounds, the weight loss will taper off if I continue as I am now. I haven't yet added strength training, but that's the next step for me.


How are you doing?
