I painted my ugly nails Friday night in pretty disco pink. But today, I picked it all off by the end of a two-hour-long lunch meeting.

June had the week off from work and surprised us with a crawfish boil.

I was too stuffed to run so I waited for the longest two hours of my life. Even though I was still full I ran the C25K: Week 7 – Run 1. I blame the crawfish for my lagging. Mmm … I can still taste the goodness in my mouth.

Ten minutes into the run I got really tired. My legs started to cramp so I ran a little bit faster … which surprisingly felt better. Weird. I thought the run would be easier. Think being lazy all weekend messed me up. Gotta pick it up!

Time for telly before bed! Hope you guys had a good Monday!!

I did it! Only one step closer to the end. Today’s challenging run was a total of thrity one minutes of exercise with sixteen minutes of running.

I seriously thought I was going to die in the last few minutes of the first run. In my head, I kept thinking, how can I do eight minutes? That’s ridiculous. I’ve never run that long unless it has to do with sports and even then I’m huffing and puffing. My reply to myself was that after this, I only have one run left and I’d be done for the day. When the second run came all I could think was how I’m almost done. The second run was much easier when I had that mentality and even had less huffing a puffing.

When I run I make little destination spots. I feel really accomplished when I get there before my running period ends and I have to start walking. I’m happy to say that I actually ran farther than where I had my destinations. In return, I kept making a new destination until the time was up. This really helps me get further and think less about the burning sensation in my legs. I’m not sure if it’s because my old and new injuries are flaring up or because my shoes aren’t right for running … or both?

I’m scared for Friday when I have no walks except for warm up and cool down but I know I can do it!

What made me even happier was coming back from my run and seeing a tiny package with my name on it!

My A string on the guitar popped on me when I was playing a week and a half ago. I recently bought these online at Sam Ash. They have fast free ground shipping! They are very trusted and has been the only store I go to for any acoustic guitar needs ever since I started learning a year ago. They sell other instruments and accessories, too. I’m not sure these were the ones I bought last time but nonetheless, I’m excited to put them on and play again! Ahh!

I’m proud to say that I’ve started week five yesterday. I’ve checked around and it seemed like there are a different number of weeks depending on which C25K you chose. Mine so happens to be nine weeks total. The other one I found had eight but the runs seem to be longer. No thanks.

I never thought I’d be able to run the way I have been running. Usually, I give up because I cannot do it or because I’m simply just lazy. Making it to week four meant something so I decided to buy myself some rings to congratulate myself when Sissy, Mum, June, and I went to Charming Charlie’s last Wednesday.

Last night I almost gave up running the last leg last because my calves and shins hurt so badly. I really need to find running shoes that are right for my feet. I am proud to say I didn’t give up and made it through.

Tomorrow’s run is going to be a little tougher but I know I can do it. I’m already coming up with a list of stuff I would want to buy when I get to the end of the program. Got to reward myself with hard work, right?
