This morning, I couldn't wait to go run, and try out my new interval timer app on my phone.
I get up, get ready, and head out, turn on my music, and start my pre run stretches.
I finish, feeling great, still no shin pains, so, always ready to get out and go!
I start up the MapMyRun program, and start to walk, as directed in the Jeff Galloway run/walk program,, I do 1.30 to 3 mins, speed walking, usually one whole song :)
so, the song is coming to an end, I take out my phone, and start up the timer, which tells me when to walk, and when to run,, I set it to run for 45 sec. and walk for 15. rather then the 30/15.
First issue comes, if I turn off my cell screen, the program shuts down...start it up again, while running and trying to keep pace, and time in my head, keeping the screen on this time, put it back into my pocket, and running, running.....nothing telling me to walk, UGH! Take it back out, while walking now, and it has again, shut down!
I start it up, AGAIN, and this time, keep screen on, while holding it, start to run again, half way done, doing great with time, and the program freezes, again, only this time, shutting down my phone, thus losing my time on my map, and, my tunes :(
I came home, so angry! I was really hoping I had made my 13 min. mark, so I could start working on distance this week!
So, I got rid of that program, and got a new one, going to try it out tomorrow!
Normally, I run every other day, but, I didnt run Saturday, so, to keep myself on my proper days, I have decided to go again tomorrow!
Fingers crossed this doesn't cause shin pain!
I can't wait to get my new shoes, so I don't have to worry about my shins anymore, and I can get on with my runs!
I have a 5k lined up next month, possibly 2, if I get my shoes in time :)
Hope you all are out there, running, walking, even dancing to music while cleaning!!
Keep moving forward, never give up, never give in, and NEVER let anyone tell you, you can't!
Peace, Love, and Mickey Mouse *o*
