I got back in the saddle (or back on the treadmill if you want to be literal!) yesterday. It was better than Tuesday, but I still didn't actually complete the interval.
I did slow down a little. I figure it's better to make it to the end than to try to be fast. So, I did my running intervals at 13:19 and my walking at 17:08. I did finish the first 3 running intervals, but stopped about .25 miles before the end of the 4th one.
My clothes were better - I wore actual running socks - a cute new purple pair from Kate - and shorts instead of pants.
I was also able to find a small radio w/ headphones at Best Buy on Wednesday. So, I was able to listen to the TV while I ran. So, thank you Chris Matthews and "Hardball" for keeping my mind occupied by something other than how much distance was going by. Music would be better, but this will do until I can save up for an iPod Nano. The Shuffle is a lot less expensive, but the Nano is what I really want and I'd rather spend that kind of money on something I'll be happy with than settle.
So, all in all, it was a better run than Tuesday. Hopefully the 3rd time will be the charm and I'll be able to do the whole interval when I run this weekend!
