W2D2: Struggle

So today wasn't so easy.  Each run interval felt like forever, and I reached the end of my tolerance to run about 3 seconds before I was supposed to stop.  I'd stop, then start again b/c I didn't want to quit, and then, I heard the cue to stop.  It was a rather frustrating session today.

I think I struggled more today than previous days because I haven't been eating well the last week or so.  Food consumption plays such a large role in how efficiently your body functions that I wished I had just stuck to eating healthily rather than succumbing to the temptation of tasty (fatty) foods.  I'll try to remember that feeling in the future.

Tomorrow is back to oatmeal for breakfast, Lean Cuisine and fruit for lunch, and a healthy dinner.  I've got a session w/Bobby tomorrow, and I'm a little worried that it's going to be painful.  Maybe I'll try to fit a run session in after work but before my personal training session.

The C25K program says that I, a new participant, shouldn't run every day, but I question this.  My trainer says I should do cardio everyday, and I've tried running back-to-back days without any problems.  The second day was actually smoother than expected.  Hmm...  Maybe that's just a precaution to give people who go from sitting on the couch all day to working out.  Since I've been working out a little more regularly the last few months, I don't see any harm in it.

OK.  So enough rambling for me.  It's time to clear and dress the bed with clean sheets and shower.  I'm still all icky from my run today.  Yuck.
