Start of week 2

It's a cold and rainy autumn day here, and I indulged in some comfort baking - Molasses cookies. It was all good, until I ate so many and then headed to the gym. I swear it slowed me down.

Other then the cookie baby I was carrying, I encountered a problem when I arrived at the gym without my ipod. Shock and horror! How was I supposed to run without a pumping distraction in my ears.

To my surprise running without music wasn't that bad. I actually caught my stride and didn't struggle throughout the entire 30 mins - my longest steady run so far. Not having the distraction of music made me check in with my body a little more - my breathing was more even, my stride was more steady. Overall it was a great run. I might have to leave my ipod behind more often!


Stats:
Treadmill - Long Run
Speed - 8.0km/h, increasing to 9.0 at end
30 mins
Distance - 4.01km
