It was a big day. Not only did I complete Week 3, but ventured away from the treadmill for the first time, ran with the dog for the first time, and attempted to carry on a conversation, briefly, while running.
Dog + Trail might have been a little much. I think I run faster when I'm not on the treadmill, so between that and trying to manage the dog, it was kind of an ordeal. But it was great! Gorgeous day, good to people watch, etc. Someone starting asking me about Pokey while I was running. "Cool dog - what kind is it?" I did my best to be civil. I think I passed. But I'm not ready to throw conversing in on a regular basis.
Here are the stats. I did the whole trail even though the Couch25k deal was only about half of it.
Max hr: 178
Avg hr: 144
In zone: 37:55
Duration: 49:15
Distance: About 3 miles
Calories: 342
I really feel great. I guess I'll bike tomorrow. I want to do something fairly rigorous but know I shouldn't run.
So, on Monday I'll be running for a full five minutes. Very cool. I know I can do it.
