Big Ow

I really didn't feel like waking up this morning. Probably, this was due to the beer I drank with dinner last night - I was out cold by 9:30!

Woke up later this AM than on Tuesday... that extra 15 minutes of sleep between 5:30 and 5:45 really didn't do very much.

Once I got out on the track with my housemate and her youngest daughter (elder sister, Sarah, stayed in bed with a sore throat) I immediately felt better. Isabel (the younger daughter) has very short legs, however, which could prove to be an issue in keeping up once I finally start building stamina.

As Andrea (my housemate) said, the first real test will be getting up early on Saturday morning - which should be our next scheduled run. I think aiming for 7 or 8 am will be our best shot. Then we can sleep in on Sunday.

DAY 2 REPORT

wake-up time 6 am
1 mile total (plus walking to and from track)


Half circuit of track walking, half circuit of jogging
4 revolutions of track

Legs - feeling a little jelly-ish
Lungs - much better than Tuesday, despite the heat and smog
Stomach - perfect!
Sweat level - high!

Overall impression - not too bad for someone who felt like taking a hammer to her alarm clock this morning.
