Week One

7 months ago, something changed.
Total downward spiral.
Lost 50 lbs.
Now it's time to do something about it.

iPod Nano, Brooks running shoes, Nike+ and the C25k podcast.

This weeks interval:
5 minute warm up
60 second run
90 second walk
repeat for a total of 8 intervals
5 minute cool down

Sunday--1st run
mid-morning, cool, & sunny
realized very quickly my cardio sucks ass.
Skipped one running interval because I was crazy bad winded.
Monday morning was a little achey.

Tuesday--2nd run
early evening, sun went down, much cooler than Sunday
cardio was better, did all the intervals, but probably slowed my pace a bit.
No soreness.

Thursday--3rd run and last for the week
before sunrise, dark, cold
Ran in the morning because it was going to be 29 degrees after work.
Felt good. Cardio a bit better.
After, my right knee was super stiff for about 24 hours. (old football injury--maybe related?)

Because there's a seriously cold wind chill, I won't start the week until possibly tomorrow.

Notes:

• The Nike+ is awesome. Keeps track of everything (and I haven't even really tried to figure it out.) You don't need Nikes.
• The podcast is great. He keeps track of the intervals and the music is not boring.
• If you're going to listen to a podcast while using Nike+, you have to start the podcast first, and then start a basic workout on the Nike+.
