Here We are At Week Four....

OK....I think I finished week three...I honestly cannot remember.  The last post I did was October 2nd and today is October 18th.....that tells you how long it has been since I've posted and probably since I have run.  I think I did the first day of week three and skipped the rest.  Today I ran week four day one, but I did great on it!  No wonder the music sounded different to me.  I kept thinking.."haven't I already started week four?  but I do not recognize the music."

Well, in summary, I think I did the first day of week three, let life get in the way for two weeks, and now I started week four today.  I guess that is ok?  Because I certainly didn't have any trouble doing the running routine for week four today -- right now I am in Oregon visiting and friend who lives in the mountains, but the roads around her house are flat.  So I got to run the whole time on flat ground, which I think made a HUGE  difference in my stamina and ability to complete the run easily.

Next week when I go home, I will have to go back to the hills during week 5 -- maybe I need to seriously consider a different, flatter route at home because I do believe that the hills are killing me and I honestly do not know if I can do the hills when I have to run 20 or more minutes at one time. 

Still...that being said....I am excited that today's five minute run was very easy for me, especially after taking two weeks off from running.  I am proud of myself.
