C25K Day 6

Brian ran with me today. We hit up the trail through the woods near our house. I never run on it alone cause, well, it's a perfect place to get raped or killed. I'm sure my worries are due solely to too many crime shows, but I'd rather run on well-traveled neighborhood streets than through the woods alone - even if I do live on a military post. So, whenever I get Brian to go with me, we generally explore the woods trail. The trail is a harder run for me with more hills. Today was also a bit challenging because the humidity is somewhere around 90% I'm guessing. I should get used to the humidity, tho...I do live in Louisiana and summer is coming after all.

So, I did it. At times it sucked and I'm not sure how far I went. I am a disgusting mess in desperate need of a shower, but I feel great. I generally hate it when I'm doing it, but I always feel amazing when I'm finished.

I'm thinking about repeating this week's workouts again next week. I'll give myself until Monday to decide. If I don't repeat this week, next week's workouts will look like this:

Run 90 sec
Walk 90 sec
Run 3 min
Walk 3 min
Repeat once

It doesn't look that hard to me right now so I think I may go ahead and try it. It's actually the same amount of minutes running, just less walking. We'll see and you'll be kept updated!

That trail used to freak me out too! I used to go on it a lot to take pictures or to take Boomer on a walk and I was always scared of the wild pigs that were around might attack me.

Oh my God yes! There are wild pigs on post! I saw a pack of them one time on my way to the gym, keep an eye out for them, they are dangerous!
