I started a little bit later tonight than I had planned on thanks to a random forest fire somewhere in SW Florida. Where's Smokey when you need him? The wait was worth it, though. Once I went outside, much of the smell was gone and my breathing was just as controlled throughout the exercise as it was the other two days this week.
My overall distance was the same which puts me at roughly 7.3 miles for the week! Eventually, that number will be closer to 9, at the least, but I think this is a great start. While I was out there, I thought about the 5k that's now 3 months away and whether or not I'd be able to do it. From a cardiovascular standpoint, I don't think I'm far off. My pace will probably be an easy jog for much of the race so it shouldn't be an issue.
The two sticks that propel me, however, still need some work but I've noticed some improvement already and I'm sure there's more to come. I'll be taking the next two days off since there's only 3 days per week in the C25k program. Sunday will mark the beginning of week 2 and I can't wait. As recently as a month ago, if you had told me I'd be thinking that, I would have told you to lay off the crack pipe.
