Brittany- Week 2, Day 1

Monday night was day one of week two. I'll be honest, it wasn't the easiest thing I've ever done. I'm obviously super behind on my blogging. Let's just say this week hasn't been the smoothest of my life. But I'm sticking with my running AND my blogging. So here I am.

Night one of week two switched things up a bit. I moved from walking for 90 seconds with 60 second intervals of jogging, to two minute walks with 90 second jogs. It wasn't exactly easy, but it wasn't quite as bad as I'd imagined it to be. I may have spent ten seconds of one of my walks leaning up against a wall. I may also have felt a little nauseated which I'm sure had a lot to do with how ridiculously hot I was and the massive amount of water I was downing as quickly as possible. There were a few moments in the last run where I really just wanted to give up. I kept saying, "I don't want to do this," but I did it. I may not have enjoyed the running, but I loved the feeling of finishing it. I guess that's why I stick with this. Because I like the way it makes me feel afterward, even if I don't actually enjoy the running. And that's good enough for me.

Tonight I'll set off on night two of week two, my first night in my awesome and adorable Nike running shoes. Previously I was running in shoes that were more cute than functional. These are both, and that's a great thing. If you're looking for shoes I would definitely recommend them. Last night it was super humid here so instead of a run I went on a walk. A very slow walk. Four miles in one hour. I should be ashamed. But the humidity was stifling and I was hot just walking. I wore my awesome and adorable shoes to get them broken in. Four miles, no pain. Gotta love pretty, comfy running shoes. I have and love these.... Clearly good shoes are important, but so are pretty colors, right? I say yes. But I'm just that sort of girl. Buffy would want pretty shoes, too. That girl slayed vampires in high-heeled boots. How can you not admire that? And Spike. Sorry, I have a bit of a crush. I can't help myself, he's the Billy Idol of vampires, or maybe it's the other way around. Either way, I love Spike, I love Buffy, and I love the way I feel after finishing another day of C25K.
