So
where am I? Week 10, Day 2. #10krunner @clearskyapps.
How
did I get here? I did Weeks 3 through 8 pretty faithfully; then life got in the
way. I've been a couch potato this year, including a nasty round of pneumonia,
but before that I was pretty fit for someone who was a couch potato for most of
their life.
I
thought Clear Sky Apps 10k runner would get too easy and I would be skipping
weeks, but that didn't happen. Except Week 9, which I skipped several times
while throwing a bar mitzvah and Passover.
So
this week I dove straight into Week 10. This week is the most intimidating,
evidenced by how long it takes me to get out of the house to do the workouts.
Future weeks, with fewer, longer runs, are not so scary.
W10D1
and W10D2 are five times 10-minutes running with walk intervals. I'm starting
to feel like I can tell people I'm going for a run again.
But
W10D3 is looming and it is even scarier. Five times 12-minutes running with walk
intervals. That's also going to take up a big chunk of morning.
Overall
I'm liking #10krunner. However, #10krunner seems to think that three weeks from
now I will run 60 minutes which will also be 10 kilometers. Today, I did five 10-minute intervals, only
three of them were faster than 9kph and none of them were 10kph.
Someone
at @clearskyapps, probably someone single, athletic and male, seriously
underestimated how slowly a 40-something mom-of-three can run. Fitness apps
shouldn't be #onesize
