Today Julie and I went to Central Market so that I could do my C25K. She walked Jay in the stroller (because she has a sinus infection) and I ran with Hazel. It was great. It went really well. Today was the first day I had music. I downloaded the podcasts with no music and then added my own playlist. I'm really happy with it. I made the music fade out when the guy tells you to run/walk and then it fades back in. Clare - I'll send you a link so you can download the one for Week 3 if you want to try it. It might be too "worshipy" for you, but it's the only kind of music that really works for me when I run.
I wasn't sure how Hazel was going to do because the other time I ran with her, she did great the first half but then slowed down the second half. Turns out, she did really well. The first half she was trotting at between 5.5 and 6.0 mph and the second half 5.0 to 5.5mph. I just ran at what felt natural and that ended up being closer to 6.0mph. I kept trying to slow down because it seems like it would be better to do 5.0 but it felt so slow to me. On the treadmill it doesn't seem slow. Oh well, I'll just see how it goes. Maybe when the runs get longer I'll want to go slower.

Nice work! So are you finding it relatively easy? Hard?? I drank entirely too much last night so took today off. Needed it. I'm an old lady now, you know.
it was slightly more challenging this week but i am not having a problem with the run parts. not sure how week 3 will go. running with the podcast/music today was so much better. i didn't have to keep looking at my watch.
