So where am I? Week 10, Day 3. #10krunner  @clearskyapps.

Sneakers, phone, dog. Check.

Oh yeah. And that motivation thing. I'd been worrying about this run for a while now and now that it came down to the day to do it, I was still worrying.

Five times 12-minutes running with walk intervals. At 80 minutes, that's a pretty intimidating chunk of time on the pavement, not to mention blocking time for how long it takes me to get out of the house on "slow" days and a recovery yogurt, and wow! This run earns its very own hashtag #wheredidthemorninggo or #schedulingnightmare

However, I did get out there and I did do it. There's still a huge gap between my legs getting back in shape and my lungs getting back in shape. If I run comfortably for my legs, I get out of breath pretty quickly. If I slow down to run without gasping, my legs feel out of sync and I have to concentrate on my feet. Thinking about feet = looking at feet = not a good thing.

The dog did not appear to be having the look-at-feet problem. Check out her blog for how W10D3 feels on four feet.

On a brighter note, this was the first run that added up to more than 10k. But we all know it was 60 minutes running with no small amount of walking to pad it out, and it still only added up to 10k and change. So how exactly do we get to 60min = 10k?

Dear @Clearskyapps,

"Run barefoot on hot coals" is not an answer.

Thanks,

User and Dog
