Week 2, Day 1...quick post from the waiting room

I got a little taste today of what's to come...fitting my training into a busy schedule. I don't actually go back to work until Wednesday, but today is certainly a full day. This morning I had to supervise Denise's movers while she was at the passport office, which ended up taking much longer than expected. I hadn't eaten anything all day, so I zoomed home and scarfed a Clif bar and ran out the door to the Y.

I felt like I was really rushing too much, since it was already 2 and I had to be at the dentist at 3, but I really didn't want to miss today.  I was still deciding whether or not I was going to just walk on the treadmill or do w2d1 (during my warmup) when Roy wanted to be uncooperative and not want to provide me with the podcast I needed.  I ended up warming up for ten minutes before I decided to go all in and just go for it. 

Week two is 90 seconds running, two minutes walking.  I decided to just use the timer on the treadmill like a regular person instead of fancy apps on Roy, and just watch the food network (ironic, I know) on my fancy treadmill.  This was an excellent plan until a out 15 minutes in when I realized I'd been running for 90 seconds and walking for the same. This is certainly not a problem, as it means I was running more and recovering less, but it was off script! I have really been trying hard to stick to the plan since it has worked for so many people. The last running interval brought a few tinges of a familiar pain, a sobering reminder not to overdo it!

Now I'm sitting in the waiting room at the dentist, where my appointment is already 30 min overdue.  Roy is cooperating now, of course.  :)

Tonight is Denise's leaving-do, so I have to continue the rushing once I leave here, except with more numbness. I have to get all fancy since it will be all make-up artists and me...right.
