Day Eight

1.75 in 28 minutes

I got home early today (thanks Carissa!) and was able to get to the apt gym before 5. I was pretty nervous about my calf, but turned out to be a non issue. I was the only one in the gym and this time I chose the middle treadmill. This one is not in front of the mirror. Previously I've chosen the one in front of the mirror to satisfy my narcissism but frankly it's a bit distracting cause I don't have anything to randomly stare at. This turned out to be a good idea. I was able to randomly stare out the window through the blinds. Just like running outside.

At about 4 minutes and 37 seconds in I usually take off my track jacket thingy and this time what was underneath? My goEastern Tshirt :) Holla EWU peeps! I kind of felt like superwoman.

This was a hard workout, but I felt good after. I know jogging 3 minutes continuously is kind of wussy, but I'm pretty proud that I can do it. Janet Jackson's "Feedback" is what got me through the second 3 minutes. Hahaha. I have to say I just googled the lyrics and it's quite a dirty song! Oh well it worked.

Dear Couch to 5K iPhone Application Programmers,
It would be really great if the guy in my ear said something more encouraging than "walk now" or "run now". Although it serves it's purpose, he even sounds bored. And when I'm done with the workout I don't even get a beep?! I would prefer some fireworks to go off on my screen similar to when I win solitaire on the computer. This is way harder than solitaire and it deserves some fanfare.
Thank You,
Leah
