2nd workout

Well, it was a bit cold (~40F) in shorts, and the long sleeves did not help either, but we COMPLETED the 2nd run of week 1.

Found a fairly flat road area near the new Ball Ground City Hall that goes for about 1.3 miles. Until we get much more progressed, this will do just fine.

We might have to do 2 weeks per week to let our old, decrepit bodies catch up. or hire paramedics to be follow us around the circuit with oxygen and a defibrillator...

the podcasts are awesome to help pace you. I can see why I stopped running intervals before with trying to run, watch the watch, count intervals, etc. It is MUCH easier to just listen and do. It is also rather rewarding as you hit the end of the run segments.

I think if we are able to maintain this, maybe I will try to combine the techno beats at low volume with audio books. how cool would that be? run and read.

Found a GREAT deal on Nike Air Pegasus+ for 40.00 for me and 52.00 for her, plus 14.00 for shipping and tax. And they are Nike+iPod compatible.

gonna try to walk the circuit on off days to keep blood moving.
