Better today! It was 43° when I got to the track this morning. 48 by the time I got home. I ran in a hoodie, but by my fourth run, my hands were no longer cold and I was beginning to feel pretty uncomfortable. I felt like the hoodie was weighing me down. So I took it off and tossed it in the grass as I ran by the fence.
Also by the fourth run, I was thinking to myself, How am I ever going to get through two more runs? I seriously didn't think I was going to make it. But once I took the hoodie off, I was suddenly done with run number five and feeling pretty damn good. I think by Saturday it'll be a little bit less hellish. Another three days (maybe six?) of Week 2 should do the trick.
I got up at 7:45, so I finished my run early enough to come home and do my ab workout and stretch before we had to leave for swimming (which should be very soon). Sometime today I will get in my 20 minutes of aerobic. Right now I'm crunched for time.
For breakfast I had half a Luna Bar and some water. I ate the other half after my ab workout. For lunch I'm probably going to make some acorn squash and brown rice. For some reason, I'm craving water chestnuts.
I need to buy some raisins and almonds.

hey!
sounds like you're doing ace.
i never wear long sleeves when i run, i get too hot really quickly, even when it's really cold. also, i run on the street, so i can't just throw my hoodie down or else i have to go back later and retrieve it from someone's front yard.
i was struggling on week two, usually about half way through the repetitions. i'm at week 6 now and i can't believe i ran 25 minutes non-stop this morning.
i feel like i have to go and watch [u]stand by me[/u] now because i was singing 'i ran all the way hooommmeee!' in my head.
p.s. i'm too lazy to start my own blog, so i hijack your comments section to tell you this.

I thought that, as fat as I was, I wouldn't have a problem with being cold. Boy was I wrong! I might just get a long sleeve shirt from Goodwill and wear that on cold mornings. When I warm up, I can just tie it around my waist.
Stand By Me is such an awesome movie! I love the soundtrack. I can't IMAGINE running for 25 minutes! I can't even imagine running five minutes straight... Congrats, though! That's awesome.
Feel free to blog in my comments! I don't mind at all!
