I'm Looser

Hello everyone.
It's nice to check stats and see that you read, it motivates me to write even more.
As I said in almost every previous post, I want to be honest here. So moment of truth... The last day I went running was Monday. What a shame! Here in Czech republic the school starts this week, or around this week, every school has it different, so it's kind of a busy time at universities. And I have to get used to wake up early, because I don't have time to run in evening. Well I woke up this morning, school starts at 9 a.m. today and believe or not I looked outside and didn't even want to go there. I feel horrible. It's gonna be worse and worse and I know that... I have to fight with it.
Oh and I found apartment and now hold your breath, with running track 5 minutes by walk far. Isn't that a sign I should put my running shoes on?
And how do you deal with lazy, cold days? Let me know in comments...

The Weather


Sunday... my official resting day! I actually never listened my training programme about resting days until today. I've been running 8 days in a row now, so I guess today I should listen and really take a break. But you know what? I woke up this morning (it was an hour ago) and took a look outside, it has been raining whole night and it doesn't seems to stop anytime soon. I was born with surname lucky or happy and this is the proof, not that it's important, at least it won't tease me to go outside and enjoy autumn. And now, talking about how happy I am, If it will rain tomorrow I'm screwed... I've been avoiding the day when I have to go for my run in the rain and I'm not planning on going anytime soon, even the day will come one day, that's for sure. Do you run in rain? Do I have to? I have nice running jacket from my last internship, but I was using it just for cold days, not raining. How do I know it's water-resistant? And what about my Nike+ iPod case, they say it's water resistant, but for run in SUCH a rain?
Are people crazy to run in days like these? 
And you readers, just wait for my post when it's snowing...

Positive Cheating

So as I mentioned before, I joined training programme, called Walk To Run, which basically tells me what to do every day of my run. It changes every week as I'm getting more advanced, by adding more of running minutes into the schedule. Well this week should be week 4 of my running experience and I'm currently on 3 minutes walk 2 minutes run and repeat 5x times and every second day 15 minutes walk 2 minutes run, which is what I was supposed to do today, but you know that feeling when you are dressed up for running and you are walking in the city between normally dressed up people? So I pushed myself and instead of plan I ran the whole time of my today's workout. Big success my friends, because I was never able to last for 14 minutes of workout. I'm really proud and also tired... 

Oh and I don't run like a duck anymore... If you're having this muscle pain problem, herbal gel and stretching helped a lot.
