90 seconds is hard...

C25K week one wasn't to bad, I was sore but it was a good sore.  Yesterday was to be the start of week 2.  Hubby was on a bike ride after work and I had planned on running while he was gone. Well got home after work, ate dinner and then you can't run on a full tummy so I waited for a bit and the lady kicked in.  Hubby had said the bike ride was just going to be a quick trail ride with his buddies so I figured I only have to run 3 times a week I'll just start tomorrow.  I kept on waiting and waiting for hubby to get home texting BFF and so I checked to see where hubby was on his ride, my primary use for find my iPhone, and he was 10 miles way off the trail out about 10 miles from where they met and started the ride........ now my excuse wasn't valid, Crap!  With a big sigh and a groan I got my lazy butt off the couch and went upstairs to my room where the treadmill now lives and got my gear on.

I told the kids where I'd be and started my 5 min warm up.  I was feeling good so I was doing it a little faster than week 1 and when the 5 mins was up I pressed my 5 mph button and was met with a ZOOoooooooommmmmmm.......  All the power in my room shut off.  I learned that the circuit for my room can not power both our AC window unit and my treadmill at running speed, Oops. Out to the garage to reset the breaker and realized if I didn't start over I won't know how far I went in the 20 mins and so I started my warm up over again.  When it came time to run, the power didn't go out but my youngest started yelling for me as soon as I got up to speed. I paused the treadmill and went running to see what was wrong and was met with I'm hungry. :-/  Do any of you remember my post The many functions of my treadmills start button? I was having flash backs to that.  When I finally got back on the treadmill I thought I will just start running, cause I am NOT doing the warm up again. Now I am just hoping to finish running before hubby got home.  90 seconds is hard! I was thinking oh this will be nothing like the 60 seconds last week and I was wrong!!  I wanted to keep my running pace at 5 mph but I just couldn't complete the full 90 seconds at first.  This week had 4 running segments at 90 seconds each and then 2 min walking breaks between them.  This is not how my run went! My went run 60 seconds, walk 2.5 mins, run 90 seconds, walk 3 mins, run 55 seconds run 4 mins, run the last  90 seconds segment and then walk for another 5 mins.  My heart was just racing and I wasn't sure if I had, had to much caffeine or sugar but my heart felt like it was going to explode!  Where did I go wrong? Part of me thinks it was because I put my heart rate watch on and so I was very aware of my heart rate and was checking it regularly during the run then when I would see it was high I would feel scared and stop.  And another thing is I am not sore today. If it was that much harder on my body I should be more sore today than I was last week. Tomorrow we will try this again C25K week 2 day 2, lets see if I can keep my head and heart where they belong.
