My 1st Blog Post (W1D1 Podrunner)

I can't believe how challenging Podrunner was my first day. I have to say, it got easier everytime I heared the sound telling me to speed up. Is it just me or did all of the music seem to have almost the same tempo? I'm not sure what everyone else did on Day 1 of Podrunner but I spent my warm up jogging a little too fast! By the time I heared the chime sound for me to speed up I was almost out of gas. I was disappointed in myself and arguing with myself the rest of the way about whether to just give up and try again another day. I didnt quit, I finished the whole 29+ minutes. At the end of Day1, I have a note to self:

1: Put on chapstick before leaving the house
2: Put on a hat and gloves before leaving the house

I am from Texas and living here in England its super cold, what the heck was I thinking leaving the house wearing a thin jogging suit  and an MP3 Player? Anyway, I am just too proud of myself for completing that run/walk AND I actually linked and balanced my carbs and proteins all day. I wasn't obsessing about food. I see that 5k race in my future! Is 1 year too long to actually prepare to run a 5k? Podrunner suggests that you rest between run days and run 3x per week. I will start my weight training next week, opposite my run days. Call me crazy but I plan to liftweights twice a week instead of three days. Am I the only person in the world blogging and dealing with insulin resistance? If there's anyone out there please send me a message or something. I was totally inspired by Runderwoman to start this blog. I have always wanted to be a long distance runner and I
will accomplish that goal this year and take off this yo-yo dieting baby weight. Thanks for reading, See ya tomorrow! Here's my list of mini goals and my work out schedule.
