I took a longer repose than normal from WK 2 day 2 to WK 2 day 3. Hip issues, busy, tired, homemade water slide. I think it worked to my advantage. I went to my climate controlled heaven, aka the gym. I ran the last eight and a half minutes. Though the program calls for 90 seconds run, 2 mins walking for week 2. I felt like I could run longer so I diverted from the norm. It was super awesome. I honestly don't remember the last time I ran that long. I know for most of the population 8.5 minutes is laughable and amusing to most runners. I like to think myself humble (which by even suggesting I am humble makes me haughty). This is after all is a diary to a degree of couch to 5k. 
Random, my oldest ran in a one day/no prior practice, track and field event sponsored by The Trak Shak. He finished third in his heat. In the above pic he is in the blue shorts. There were kids that I believe ran faster than I ever could. It was impressive. Next training starts with week three, Day 1. Which if I recall is basically the same as week 2. 
My tee-shirt read today "failure is not an option". Thrift store find, for a 1$. Score!
Stole this from Chas :)

  4. Thanks sister! :) LOL at earbuds. Call me tomorrow I will explain, but a short note, ear phones are headphones. You probably received a white pair with your iphone. Mine had no cushion in the ear...but I found some at our fav store.. :) Ear phones/headphones/earbuds all the same.
