Training day 2
Okay. This really should have been yesterday, but I did the same thing I did last week - met a friend for lunch, got home about 5-ish, and was so exhausted decided to have a ’short’ nap. And like last week, I woke up at 9 o’clock! I think maybe I am not totally over my infection - my friend was convinced I still had a temperature yesterday, but given we were sat in the sun, and I wasn’t wearing a hat, I think that was more to blame for my head feeling so hot!
Anyway, I got up at 8 this morning (it would have been earlier if Hobo had had his way….), hung out my washing, ate a yoghurt, let it settle for 10 minutes and then set off.
Same route, same music.
This time I had 2 little sit downs - how am I supposed to walk and then run tomorrow, when all I want to do at the moment is walk, and then have a rest for 1 minute? - but I must have been walking slightly faster, because I got home half way through the last song - so maybe 2 minutes quicker than Friday.
I am going to be sorting out songs for my mp3 player today - need to find 6 minute and 1 minute tracks for this week, 5 and 2 minute for next week, then 4 and 3 minute for the week after. After that I can use the same ones, only changing which I walk and which I run (*cough*) to.
My sports bra turned up yesterday - I can’t get it on! It’s very weird, because I also bought 2 other bras, and they fit me fine, and comparing them against each other they look a similar size, but I think because it is just so damn big (more like a crop top) that I can’t put it on the usual way - do it up at the front and then swivel it round and pull up the shoulder straps - I can’t get the shoulder straps up. But I can’t put it on the ‘right way round’ either - the fastenings don’t want to meet! I will leave it a few days and try again, otherwise I am going to have to send it back and order another size - god knows what size though, this is the proper size for me as measured last year! I have a totally wrong size sports bra, so will have to wear that in the short term - not good, but at least it will minimise the ‘bounce’!
