I logged my 12th run today to complete week 4! Moving up to 90 second runs was pretty brutal, but I got through it. I also managed to work in some time on the Wii Fit and some strength training with the resistance bands.
Unfortunately, I don't feel like I'm ready to move up to C25K week 3 (3 min runs, yikes!), so I'm going to repeat week 2. I have around a 4 week cushion with the 5k I want to run, so it should be okay.
Also, things are going to get hairy for me as far as scheduling my runs this week. I've been on a Tues, Thurs, Sat schedule so far, but Ben has to go to NOLA early on Tuesday to give a talk at Tulane. He won't be back until late Thursday evening, so I think I'm going to run Monday, Friday, and Sunday this week. I'm a creature of habit, so I don't know how I'm going to like messing with my schedule.
On a more personal note, Ben is on the cusp of completing his PhD in mathematics, so we're in the middle of a job search. This is a very exciting, yet incredibly stressful time for our family. My runs have truly been my escape during all the drama of the job hunt. And believe me, there is drama. I never knew that universities could be so dodgy when dealing with potential employees. They want to know where you stand with everyone else, but they won't tell you a darn thing about where you stand with them. It is frustrating, to say the least.
