SDD day 19 - C25K week 2 day 1

last night i completed the 1st day of the 2nd week of the C25K. i keep surprising myself with how much i actually enjoy running now. the last time i ran was in school in a P.E. class and i hated it. it was horrible having to watch people beating you at every sporting event i tried (except javelin, i was queen of that exercise). i think seeing other people do better than me continuely was what ruined running for me, what’s fun about pushing yourself so hard you can’t breathe properly to be beaten anyway? whereas with the C25K its me on my own, going at a pace that is right for me.
according to my little pedometer whose come everywhere with me for the past 2 days, during the half hour of the C25K, half of which was scheduled walking, i took 4009 steps, burnt 120.27 calories and travelled 2.40k. considering that this is week 2 i’m already doing half of a 5k, and if i ran for the full 20mins i’m sure i could hit 5k in half hour, but i’m not at that level yet, its baby steps for now and sticking religiously to the C25K programme.
my drops have been taken and i’m feeling good! i woke up really hungry this morning, but after reading a runners blog yesterday, i realised i could be confusing what i thought was hunger pangs with dehydration. and sure enough after a lot of water i felt amazing again. the sick feeling has finally gone but today the weather has been terrible, raining and windy, my kind of weather. rather than the 20c it was yesterday, so it could be the heat messing up my body.
completing day 2 of the second week of the C25K tonight, and will also be weighing myself results will be posted tomorrow.
4 more days left on the SDD diet and then for a month i can focus purely on exercising
