Week 1, Day 2: Drop down low!

Today was my second 5k training session. On day 1, I had forgotten my iPod so I was completely focused on the clock. This time I knew which speeds I would be running so I could get a little loose. I started off strong after setting the timer for 25 minutes. I turned on my Beyonce to get me hype. I did my warm up and started the running/walking intervals. I did the first couple alternating cycles and then I seemed to have gotten a little too loose.

Listening to my music, I must have forgotten what I was there for. I was walking and then I just completely forgot when I was supposed to start running. Had I already been walking for 30 seconds or a minute already? So I am re-counting down from 20 minutes in my head as I am listening to "Get Me Bodied" extra loud and I got all out of balance. Apparently, I didnt have my Ipod strapped on properly so it went tumbling down on the treadmill and ended up on the floor while I was left with the earbuds dangling, not plugged into anything.

Soooooooo, I had to push the big red STOP button on the treadmill in the middle of my workout (losing my mileage count and calories burned), get my iPod from off the floor, plug my earbuds back in, figure out which song to play and the volume to play it at, restrap the iPod holder, reset the treadmill timer (who knows exactly when I got thrown off) and figure out whether I was actually supposed to be running or walking...

This is way too much to have to deal with. Maybe I am better off without the distraction of Beyonce...
