I've never been a runner for exercise purposes. I always ran as part of a sport. Running for exercise always seemed boring to me. Any time I tried to run, walk or anything, I was lucky to make it two days. Cycling was a different story, that was always fun, but the roads near me aren't really great for cycling. Much easier to just walk out the front door and run. Now I just have to do it.
I have multiple goals for this one. I hope they will keep me motivated. Short term I want to run a 5k. Long term I want to be in shape to play with my son and be able to keep up with him as he gets older. Other long term I need to get my weight down to join the JAG Corps, which is something I want for my future.
Day 1 about killed me. I was surprised I finished the last run interval. Thighs hurt, back hurt, drenched in sweat. All in all felt pretty good.
Day 2 was easier to finish all the the intervals. Changed the route a little to get away from two hills. Not really nasty ones, but not something I needed in week 1.
Day 3 actually finished the route before the podcast ended so I had to backtrack. Still had the back pain, in fact it seemed worse today, though that could have been the fact that I was going faster.
