Week 2 Day 1

Which could be subtitled "... why not to mess with your app"

My run today took me down to the seaside - or rather the seaside town of Portobello, it was a longer route than I'd attempted before so I was quite prepared to run out of 'workout' time and have to log the last bit via good running as normal. Oh I wish I had! Instead I ended up fiddling with my app - ok I did an extra repetition of the run, but then paused it to cross a busy road (and took a while to remember to un-pause it). Furthermore, at the end of my run I decided to try and be clever and repeat the cool down phase, instead accidentally flicking back to the beginning. All in all I have royally cocked up my stats - so some of todays are taken from the good run guide instead.

Wary of the issues I had on Wednesday, I didn't push myself too hard at the beginning of the run ... and in fact my breathing was a lot better today. Might be the cooler morning air, or just an off day last week - but I think I will still try and get replacement inhalers when I see the GP on Monday. Never hurts to be careful anyway.

Pushing up to 90s run repetitions was tough at first, but by the end of the run I was almost up for much more! Don't want to overdo it and ruin my progress so will keep going steadily ... but definitely getting happier. Couple of other firsts today ... but I'll talk about them tomorrow on my rest day.
