HH 5K Novice - Week 3, Day 1

First day back to school...meetings and stuff, kids come tomorrow. I got out on the road by 5:55, it was still a little dark, the crickets were chirping, it was neat...

How is it that I can slow down my jog to enable myself to walk LESS, and still have a slower pace...I WALKED LESS, grrr. I guess the 'slow down' cancelled out the 'walk less.' Oh well. I still feel better about today's workout. I did 2 miles at run 5 min/walk 1 min (ok, except for one tiny walk 2 minute stretch in the penultimate set.

The humidity being 93%, despite the cool temps (58F!!!), maybe made me a little more tired? I thought the cool would overpower the humid, like in Rock, Paper, Scissors, where the paper overpowers the rock (wait, or does it overpower the scissors...no scissors cuts paper, I think...oh well, I never figured out that game, bad analogy...). But cool didn't beat humid. Humid tried to beat me!

Off to school!

Wes a dit…

I would be happy with the cooler temps!! 58F sounds heavenly, despite the humidity. The first few times I did my endurance runs, I didn't walk at all. Didn't need too. Sounds like you experienced the same...
