Good morning, and happy Monday.
Got up this morning, a few minutes after my alarm, but I got up! I was out the door fairly quickly, but didn't get started right away. I had a delicious pre-run breakfast of 10 almonds and a cheese stick with fruit punch Gatorade. After returning home I was quick to get ready for work. Soaking wet KT Tape was interesting this morning while I was trying to get dressed for work, but standing in front of my big box fan helped to dry them. The blister on my heel looks worse than it did yesterday, but tomorrow is Rest Day, so that will give it some time to heal.
Time/Weather:
I was out the door about 05:50. The weather was crisp and cool. The weather app on my phone said 64*F. It was beautiful and I didn't get too sweaty in the morning air.
What Didn't Work:
My C25K app wasn't working this morning. When I got out the door I went to start up Week Two, Day One and it said I already completed that work out. So I tried the next one and the third one for Week Two, but they all said they were completed. Then, I tried reseting the app and erasing all my date. That didn't help. I had to delete and re-download the app to be able to start again. Oy!
What Worked:
KT Tape is still holding up after two days and two showers. Still helping with pain in my shins! It seems to be a little loose around the edges on my ankles, but I'll be glad if the whole thing holds up for another two days.
Half a bottle of Gatorade was nice to have on the run. It was fruit punch flavor, which I generally don't like. it was okay. I was glad to have the cold fluids no matter how it tasted.
Motivation:
I read an article this weekend about being a slow runner. It was great because no one cares if you are a slow runner. And, that everyone is self conscious about being a slow runner. Running, even if slowly, is better than not running at all!
