iRun 1.2

Monday, 24th January 20eleven.
C25k week 1 day 2.

Hubby was home with some sort of tummy flu so at 4pm I gathered my things and readied myself to hit the pavement again.  My eager 5 year old decided she wanted to come with me, so together we set off to complete the 30 minute workout.  In the fashion of a typical 5 year old it went something along the lines of "when are we going to run?" "when can we stop?" "how much further?" "it's taking a long time", etc, etc.  When she started to run she had no concept of pacing herself - it was sprint or walk but she put in a good effort and despite having to push her a bit (when it's me that needs the pushing) she kept up with me.
Personally I was quite impressed with my effort.  This time I managed to go a further 100m (approx) which meant I added 200m to my total distance out and back.  I will have to measure how far I do actually travel - my guess would be about 2km?  Also  there was no fast-forwarding this time.  I managed to run at least 20seconds of each interval (the first full one then gradually getting less) except the last which I walked the whole time.
Recovery this time was much better too, because I was not nearly as stiff and sore as after my first attempt.
