Couch to 5k - W2D2 The Mighty Ducks

Ow. Just got done running. Not really sweating, not really exhausted. Just so nice at night. But I did something stupid.

In between runs I biked ten miles. That's not exactly a rest day. As a consequence, my calves/shins hurt enormously. I also got a stomach cramp that I can't explain. My Nike run sensor mixmasta flex iTouch dongle dingy didn't work the last two times I scientifically calibrated it (so it's either on now...or off now and on next time I run). So annoying. I want to complain to Steve Jobs and Michael Jordan.

I was excited to run all day. It's getting kind of addictive. Actually, the source of my inspiration is very interesting (to me and probably me alone). I did some calculations.

Ben's Source of Inspiration:
29%  Weight Loss
7%    Solitude
48%  Wanting to blogspot update
1%    Raaaaaaage!
15%  Getting to wear Under Armour clothing

I didn't have any issues breathing and my heart felt great. The next day is going to be a cinch as long as I rest properly. And I love wearing Under Armour clothing. I wear two layers because one layer isn't good enough. It doesn't make me feel like Ray Lewis. One layer makes me feel like Ryan Leaf. And I can't stand for that.

So if you find yourself on this plan (or a similar plan), take it from me: Rest, sleep well, and eat right. Hell, you don't even need to be on this C25K deal to do those 3 things. Today I had seafood. Maybe that explains the stomach cramps. TO BE CONTINUED.
