I ran again in snow boots (I'll feel light as a gazelle when I run without snowboots!) I felt a little fatigued this time but kept going. It seemed my HR had increased a little bit more from my 1st run but I attributed it to the conditions again today, plus I felt a little colder (forgot to put on my goretex pants over my running pants). I was happy to hear&nbsp;"Michael" announce I was halfway done. The second half went by faster because I had more or less knew where my "transitions" were on my run. That and someone had stopped me to ask a question (I didn't want to stop to answer....I wanted to say "Hey, I'm in training, can't stop but I did answered the question and then just ran again until I heard the 5 min cool down. Wow! I completed 2 runs now! I'm on my way to nailing that 5K!!!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> suedavis580217 Thu, 03 Mar 2011 10:37:36 -0600 http://tracker.dailyburn.com/groups/235/subjects/3402 9891 <p>I wish I could say I laced up my sneakers and began the C25K program on a nice sunny day but I didn't...</p> <p>We had just gotten pummeled by a second foot of snow following a foot of snow the day before but I wasn't going to let that stop me. So I donned my light weight snow jacket, goretex pants, gloves snow boots and heart rate monitor and my Iphone and listened to "Michael" tell me to begin with a 5 min walking warm up. I have downloaded some Sheryl Crow to listen to while I'm on this program to get a good beat and off we went. With intervals of Michael telling me to walk and run&nbsp;(90 sec walk and 1 min run) soon enough he was saying I was halfway done. This didn't seem too&nbsp; difficult (except for running in the 4 wheeler tracks). That I completed the first 20 min walk/run and then was at my 5 min cool down. I felt pretty&nbsp;good completing it and energized (and sweaty).&nbsp;Took a hot bath to ease my muscles. I CAN DO THIS!!!</p> suedavis580217 Thu, 03 Mar 2011 10:23:33 -0600 http://tracker.dailyburn.com/groups/235/subjects/3402 9889
