Podrunner is SO cool

I walked/ran for 45 minutes in the heat at our local park yesterday, loving my new High Roads Sweatvac hat and my podrunner mixes (couch to 5k) that I downloaded from iTunes. The music kept me motivated, and instructed me when to walk and run to keep on pace with the training program. I also wasn't as winded as I normally am, because the music's BPM are set to make sure you don't overdo it.

I brought my dog Sammy with me and by the time we were done, she was more tired than I was. She jumped in the back of the van and layed on the floor panting the whole way home, which is very uncharacteristic of her. She normally jumps up and scratches the inside of the car trying to see out the window. All in all, it was a great workout for both of us.

My plan is to do this 4-5 times a week instead of the recommended 3 days, since I have a little more of a running base, and then I can decrease the 9 week cool running timeline to 4 weeks, since thats all I have before my next event.

I will also swim laps at least once a week for 45 minutes-1 hr at the local pool, and ride for 1-2hrs once a week. Since I trained harder on those sports for my last event, that should balance me out for the September race.
