Morning Walk (Win)

Good Morning, and what a good morning it was for me.  I woke up at 05:25 and was out the door at 05:45 for a brisk walk for thirty minutes.  I decided to get out of my comfort zone and try walking along the street instead of just walking laps around my apartment complex.  It was a good choice.  I planned only to walk this morning to help myself get used to going out in the morning.

It was a beautiful 68*F and the sun was up enough to need to wear my sunglasses.  It was breezy, but not unbearable.

Yesterday was 'rest day.' I was a little restless in the afternoon and really wanted to get out and try "Week 1, Day 1" again on C25K. But, getting in a day of rest will help me be prepared for the weekend.  I am already looking forward to trying it again this evening!

What Worked:
     This morning I brought along my ipod for some music.  Played Matchbox 20, and Dropkick Murphys.  It was nice and I was able to squeeze my ipod into the tiny chap-stick pocket of my new Old Navy compression capris.  I also had my phone and used Endomondo to map and track my walk.

What Didn't Work:
     Oh, come on!  I forgot water again.  I thought that I would be okay without water because I was just walking. But it would have been nice to have some water along the way. Especially since I only had two drinks of water between waking up and walking out the door. Next time, I'll have to stash some water at my car.

Motivation:

I expected to have more trouble getting out of bed this morning and getting ready to go. But it wasn't a problem.  I know in the future this will probably become more of an issue; but for now I am so motivated to become a runner that getting out of the house isn't really the problem.

Below is my workout from Endomondo.  It gives a log of great details. I am sure the graph at the bottom will come in handy when I start training more once I can run for more than 60 seconds at a time.
