Brisk five-minute warmup walk, then:

I started week four today. I ran at the gym since it was 100 degrees outside.

In the middle of my last five minute run a wasp flew in my hair (story of my life) but I didn’t stop running. I kept running. With a wasp in my hair. 

Rocky wouldn’t have stopped. 

While I may not have stopped, I did almost fall off. Which, sadly, wouldn’t be the first time. I have the grace of the Three Stooges all wrapped up into one person.

Instead of going to the gym I ran outside since the temperature had dropped to the mid-eighties. I was a little nervous about the transition from the treadmill to pavement but everything was fine. Last night was actually the first time I wanted to keep going after my workout was over.

Is the day of my first 5k.

Wish me luck, y’all.
