Ice Ice Baby! W1D2 Podrunner Intervals

Hello Again,

W1D2  was absolutely difficult! I wouldn't say that I was totally out of shape before I started this but, I would be so wrong! I thought by my second run it would be alot easier but NO! It was challenging the entire way! When I heared the Podrunner noise for me to start running, I dreaded it each time! Not to mention the roads were iced over and it was dark outside. I ran at 6am while hubby was getting ready for work since he won't return until around 9 tonight. So it's just me and the baby all day. I read somewhere that you should wear a scarf to breath through when running while it's cold outside. I am going to look for some kind of runners scarf or make my own because at some point when I was running it kind of felt like my lungs were burning, I'm sure that was from the cold though. I didn't have anything to eat or pump before I left and suprisingly when I got home i wasnt starving or thirsty. I was huffing and puffing like a dragon! At my ten week mark I am going to be so amazed to be able to run 30 minutes straight. My focus today was on my running form and pace. I realized last run that I started out too fast and I don't believe it should be about speed so much right now. My legs have been so sore the last couple of days, I don't really have a good stretching routine down. I took out the old handy dandy  P90X stretch DVD  when I made it home this morning. It was well worth the time spent. I feel so loose now!  Am I the only one that feels more encouraged to eat right on the running days? After all that hard work all I could think was " Eat healthy or you just ran in vain!" I am thinking of switching things up a bit. Another one of my goals  is to be more flexible (very flexible).  I guess that's it for today! See ya tomorrow, Revised workout plan below:
