Day 9:Warm up - 5 mins walk: I walked quickly due to it being dark and later at night and to quiet my racing mind. I wanted to run but knew I needed to follow the program;
Run 3 mins: ran at medium speed but found myself quickening the pace
Walk 1:30Run 5mins: too fast but could not get myself to slow down - felt strong but very pushed
Walk 2:30: lots of heavy breathing here
Run 3:00 - again ran super hard - thought it was my last run so pushed myself to the point of needing to stop
Walk 1:30....Run 5mins : Oh the last run was not my last interval - put on some P!ink to push me and off I went. I was utterly spent when the 2min cool down beep came.
Cool down: I sounded like a steam engine I was breathing so loud and hard - thank goodness no one else was on the street tonight.
Reflection: Ignored my body's pain signals and ran due to my mind feeling so cluttered - glad I did. I feel calmer now.
