well congrats michael- you have W1 out of the way- only 7 more to go. It's just a matter of time.
I hope you are approaching this with the same level of confidence that I am-( and my confidence in this matter borders on arrogance ! LOL)
since we have both gone through c25k before- we both know what to expect-and we both know we can do it-after all we have done it before-and in the not too distant past.
I did W1D2 this morning- so I am going to be a couple days behind you for a while- but eventually I will catch up.
I am the 4th generation of a 5 generation family business. We currently repair/restore historic roofs, pretty much exclusively Slate and Ceramic tile roofs. when I first did the C25k program back in 2009 it was at a very active time of the year for us.
This time I am doing c25k in the winter- basically I am on vacation for about the next 4 months---. since I am so well rested at this time of year I am going to make a couple slight modifications to the c25k plan.
I have been walking with my dogs for about 7 miles a day total- so the c25k sessions are just being exchange for some of that mileage. for example- I walked the dogs this morning for 3-1/2 miles at around sunrise-went to the gym and did 5 miles total there-and then late this afternoon I will walk the dogs another mile or so.
At the gym I walked 1-1/2 miles- then did the c25k work and then finished the rest of the mileage to hit 5 miles.
My plan is to W1D1 two days in a row then do w1d2 two days in a row and then do w1d3 two days in a row-and then start W2.
I am paying close attention to my knees and if I get the slightest impression that I need to start skipping days- I certainley will.
I pay carefull attention to my knees because I use them so hard in my line of work.
Other than that I am very active-especially for a big guy- so I am used to aches and pains ( they have been my constant companinions for 30 years, LOL )
I do about 20 minutes of yoga at the gym after I have my miles in. I rmember some basic poses, which are helpfull- but I haven't been to a yoga class since January 2012- so I am also re-starting yogas classes this thursday night as well.
anyway michael- best wishes on W2D1 tommorrow.
I do not remotely think it will be the slightest problem for you-so just get to work, get it done and check it off your list !
