Week 4 - Do Not Drink a Day Before Running

Yup, that is true! If you know you have to run don't even think in drinking. 
It was a NFL conference championship weekend so I decided to host a little get together with friends to watch the games. The problem happened after a few drinks turned into a party that lasted 10 hours. You can imagine I was in no shape to even walk the 2 miles I needed on Monday let alone run it. So I waited until today to log in my quota.

Last week I needed one more mile to complete my week since my last post. On Friday I went to the park and walked the mile and to my surprise I had a better pace than when I started walking. It took me 15' 56" to do it when before I was on the 16' 40" area.

This is week 4 so I need to log in 4 miles. I started with today jogging in intervals for 6 laps at my park and I will be doing it again on Friday with another 2. 

I still feel very heavy and my breathing gets uncomfortable at times when I am jogging but I know that as long as I don't over do it and keep my plan I should be ok with it and start getting better as time passes by. As for my legs they hurt today again because I jogged, but is a muscular pain which I admit I am glad to feel because it makes me conscious of my body and keeps me motivated to continue.

Here are my updated stats:

Miles since last post: 3.15
Total miles on 2016: 8.54
Last average pace: 13' 39"
Daily average steps: 2,946*
