C25K day 2: better!

This will be quick since I am crazy busy. I did day 2 of training and, believe me, I was not looking forward to it. But I changed what I did a bit and it was much better and quite doable.

Now when I was done I was *done*. But, again, I did what I needed to do today and that's it, but that's all I needed to do.

The change I made was that when I upped it to 4.0 instead of *jogging* I walked very fast. I think that until I am down quite a bit the stress of *jogging* is just too much for my knees and leads to injury. Plus experience has told me that jogging is actually *slower* than walking quickly for me.

Sooooo
1.10 miles in 20 minutes alternating between 3.0 and 4.0 mph based on the plan.

And I feel really good about it!

WOO HOO! Great job! It's all about finding what works for you! You're doing awesome! :D

I walk faster than I jog too. We are totally going to power walk right past the blind lady AND the lady in the wheelchair and cross the finish line under 50 minutes at RFTC!
