I can't believe I did it. Week 3 was looming over me. The heat hit up to 90 degrees. I couldn't run in the morning so I headed out at 5 p.m. in the heat after a long day at work. It was worth it. Week 3 called for 2 1:30 jogs and two 3:00 jogs. The 1:30s I wasn't worried about. The 3:00 I was worried about. I took it slow, partly because of the heat and partly because I wanted to build up endurance and not go too fast. I'll admit I managed to do the old man's shuffle a bit.
One of my best training tips. I just got my armband in the mail and my iPod slips right into it. The best part is I can't see the timing. I have to go by my app and I don't get anxious or check it a million times.
Overall, the run was refreshing. For people doing Couch to 5k and maybe struggling during the first two weeks, it gets better. Just keep plowing through to week 3.
