Oranges 2 Oranges

Week Four is off to a great start! Check out my report here.

Day two report posted – 9/24.

I’ve posted the last report for Week Three. Read it here. 🙂

Though I don’t plan on using it regularly until I finish at least the next few weeks of the C25K, when I am doing longer run times and not short intervals, I thought I’d make sure everything was working right, so I hooked it all up and did a quick 6-minute walk/run to see if it would all be captured. This is a day off the C25K for me, but I couldn’t resist testing it today. Here’s my chart for the short test:

Testing my new Nike+ gear - Short walk/run

I’ve finished Week Three, Day Two and posted my report on the Week Three page. As always, scroll down to see the latest!  🙂

I added a video I found on the the C25K site a while back. See it here, on my Week Three page.

Come by my Week Two page to read the third and last entry for Week Two of my C25K…

(Next week I’ll be adding a third page for next week’s progress reports.)

See today’s C25K report on my Week Two page.  🙂

My shoes finally came last night around 7pm. What a wait! It had been two weeks since I ordered them, and though the company from which I bought them offers free returns if the size is wrong, I didn’t want to have to go through all that again. They are Brooks Radius 7’s. They fit perfectly! They are very light and soft. I was surprised. I even thought that maybe there was only one shoe in the box!

Though it takes getting used to walking in them, they were like running on clouds on the treadmill when I used them at 8pm. Yes, I did my W2D1 C25K session way after dinner! I was so pumped to have the shoes finally that I put them on an hour beforehand while we watched Kitchen Nightmares online (we love Gordon Ramsay). More about the run on my Week Two page…

I’ve been waiting two weeks for my new running shoes to come. After several unfruitful emails to the company shipping them, UPS finally has them in their hands — even on their truck this morning — yet, the UPS truck drove right past my house today. Is the driver lost? Is it on a later truck? I need to do my C25K W2D1 today, and my energy is running out FAST. I’ll have to wait until after dinner to do this, which I am not happy about. Stay tuned…
