Day 3 – 7th March

It was a case of the floor being the longest distance from the bed for me to skip the last run. It was a tiring week at work so kind of rubbed onto the sleep cycle as well.

Started my run at 6.10 – was able to get the following done

5mt run

1 min walk

6mt run

1 min walk

6mt run

1 min walk

Stretching exercises, 50 sit ups

Not what I was able to get done the last time, but I’m not complaining too much. My breathing has improved, I’m not out of breath and overall, I felt good after the run. A 20 mt earlier time would have been nice – it can get pretty warm at 6.30am on the running track. My watch somehow starts beeping funnily after the first alarm i set for 5mts. have to figure out why.

The end goal of 5k by April 23rd is still on. I should be able to hit 5k with my run-walk technique by the end of the month, and then gradually increase my running time. Not that bored with the running track anymore for me to start road running yet.

Packed Sunday with a 30mt strenuous tennis session and 5 laps of the pool in the evening. Realize that I am super hungry at the end of my swim – need to pack in some peanut butter sandwiches if I can. Will cajole the wife to bake some more bread.

Next run is tomorrow. Plan is to do a 6mt-1mt run with 4 reps and maintain that for the rest of the week.
