Week 2 Begins

Today I started week 2 of the program. I didn't think it was too bad, but I could definitely tell a difference between this week and last week. Each interval of running this week is 90 seconds (as opposed to last week when they were 60 seconds). It seemed as if for the first 60 of the 90 secs I was fine. I felt strong, didn't seem like my breathing was too bad, but then for the last 30 secs I was definitely breathing harder. Anyway, it felt really good despite it being in the 80's and running. As many of you already know, I really hate the heat.....hate it hate it hate it, so being outside exerting energy making me hotter isn't usually at the top of my list of favorite things to do. But I did it.

Funny thing is, I set my alarm to wake up at 5am to do it, but I overslept and never heard the alarm go off until almost 6am and by that time I had no time left to do it before having to get Grace to school. But I couldn't stop thinking about when I would be able to get this done, and really just felt the need to. I just thought that was kind of cool to see how my body is really wanting the exercise.

Also, speaking of bodies and cravings, I've been really good with my water intake, and I am currently averaging about 10 glasses a day. What's funny is that now that I am used to that amount, I can feel that my body just craves the water, and I'm drinking it all day long. Who'd a thunk it?

Oh and last but not least, I have kept up with Tuesday's scheduled workouts. So far I'm 2 for 2. =)
