First, see previous two posts about kicking ass during Week Four of C25K.
Next,
General AWESOMENESS? No. Total, overwhelming AWESOMENESS! Yes, I am feeling quite awesome this morning. This morning's mantra was "You're fine, just do this!" It worked! My legs were sore from Wednesday's "leg day" at the gym, but I pushed through. Also, listening to some Flogging Molly really helped too.
Week Five, Day One is three segments of five minutes for running, with shorter walking segments in between. I just conquered the five minute running segments in Week Four and was ready to move on. Day One is only three segments of five minutes, but Day Two is up to eight minutes for running, Day Three is even more. This week is going to be more challenging because it changes daily and does so for the rest of the weeks. But, I know that I am up for the challenge--I mean, I've made it this far already. On my next run I might do Week Five, Day One again, just to become really confident in these five minute segments.
My Nathan 5K waist pack arrived yesterday, so this morning's run was my first run where I didn't need to be so concerned about my phone and my bra. It was nice. I still need to adjust it a little bit more but overall I was very happy with it. It wasn't flapping or bouncing around while I was running, and my phone and ipod were snuggly contained and easily accessible. And, the best part was not having to deal with a sweat covered phone!

I took a new route this morning. The canal near my house that I have been crossing over when I run near the park. I should have looked on Google Maps last night to check the route first. There was a longish section before getting to the canal that didn't have a sidewalk. It was okay, I just made sure to move over onto the dirt shoulder when cars were coming, and luckily it wasn't a busy section of road and I was still able to run on the asphalt. I have one more week of running these routes before I have to change them all up with a new starting location!
Time/Weather:
I was out the door at 05:25 this morning. It was six minutes before sunrise. It was clear with no breeze. The temperature was 78º but there was a spot just before I reached the canal of really cool air. It was a sweaty run this morning, too bad the temperatures are only going to be getting warmer and then I will have to make sure I am on the road for my run even earlier.
