Monday, Feb 1 2010 - Well hello there Monday!

I woke up bright and early this morning (30 minutes before the alarm) and laid in bed thinking about running my c25k. I took Saturday off and then started the first week again on Sunday. It's funny how a little change can really impact your thought processes. 2 months ago the first thing I would have thought about was playing World of Warcraft. Now I'm thinking about what the weather is going to be like when I get outside. Instead of thinking "I have an hour free, I should run home and play on the computer", I'm thinking "I have an hour free, I should go for a walk".
This will be my last week on c25k week one. I'm a little apprehensive about going on to week 2 as I'm still struggling to get to the 60 second mark without slowing down. I have noticed though that my brain is slowly but surely not focusing in on the time but rather picking a spot in the distance to watch. There have even been a few times that I felt like 60 seconds was easy peasy. The main difference I've noticed is that I think I could keep going even after the 5 minute walk warm up 8 reps of 60 seconds jogging and 90 seconds walking and then the last 5 minutes cool down...I'm starting to feel like "that's it?" I think about sneaking in another round but feel it's better to just follow straight on through (albeit my decision to repeat each week twice).
Tonight's dinner is a foot long Black Forest Ham Subway sandwich. I've been looking forward to this all day!

way to go on the determination and motivation to get yourself out that door. I know it takes real will power to avoid world of warcrack.
I'm mister T and I'm a night elf mohawk!
Oh I love me some subway too. I usually hookup the 6" turkey on wheat. only 285 calories yum! Ham and Turkey when I'm really wanting some meat.

Good for you on getting up and wanting to work out... I am not good with morning workouts... If I get up early I pray I can go back to sleep ;-)
Maybe week 2 will give you the push you need and if you find it's too hard you can go back to week 1, right?.?.
