Week 2 day 3...YEAH BABY!!!!!

OMG!! I'm late. I overslept, the dog wanted to walk forever this am. I'm more nervous than a cat in a room full of rocking chairs.
I arrive at Parkville HS track and I see young ladies coming around the track. I ask if they're doing the couch to 5K , and introduce myself. Okay that wasn't so bad.It's a little nippy, not too cold. I bought a long sleeve thermal shirt and jacket from Marshall's the other day. I have on leggings and wind pants. I stretch and get ready to run. They are already half way though the run when I get there. Note to self..BE ON TIME!!!Remember this is only a half hour workout. I plug in my ears, press play and I'm off...

The first run is always the hardest, and it occurs to me (only now) that I'm a day behind. Yep, they're starting week 3!! UGH. I'm still on the 5 minute walking warm up, but i stop, switch to week 3  day 1 and pray. LOL! I must be outta my mind this 1st run is 3 minutes long. 3 MINUTES!! What the hell was i thinking? Maybe i should switch back to week 2 day 3. Too late now, no guts no glory. The first run is always rough, but this is my first time not running on the treadmill and this is harder than i thought. Running on the ground is WAAY different, but what do I know. All I know is this is the longest three minutes of my life. AM I breathing okay? My mouth feels dry.  Am I mouth breathing? My calves feel tight.Hope I don't get a cramp. Maybe I should be eating more bananas. These are the things that are running through my mind.

I stop and chat with the ladies for a few. They're done. They won't be meeting next week, but I forget to ask when is the next run. No worries I'm sure there will be post. I jog off and continue. Last run coming up. Thank you Lord!! I'm getting hot now, maybe I overdressed. The temp was 40 degrees when I left the house, now it feel like it's 80.
Cool down...YES!!! No sweeter words were ever spoken. But I'm grinning ear to ear. I did it. I ran with BGR (sort of) and I started week 3. I might really be able to do this..YEAH BABY!!!
