The Beast of Life

Did workout 15, 16, 17, then slacked of a bit--lots of muscle pain in my back before I started the work out and some intense hurting throughout. Took it easy for Workout 18, then skipped 2 days and went 3 days in a row while at the farm. Bumped myself up to Week 2 of the "official" Couch-to-5k program--so 90 seconds of running then 2 minutes of walking (iirc). This means 6 run sets instead of 8. The landscape at the farm is much more interesting--get to go somewhere instead of just running the loop around my property. And it was very cool this weekend--I had no problems with breath or with getting all of the run sets in. Did have some sacroiliac and IT band/thigh/hip pain. Did a lot of careful stretching. So, that takes me up to Workout 21. Felt really good to get out and wrulk (run/walk) at the farm--beautiful weather and I feel better for the rest of the day after I get a workout in. I'm starting to *want* to go work out.

Here's a picture of my "traveling posse" - Oda and Nemi -- and the gorgeous day at the farm.
