As you know – I started on the C25K process a little over a week ago and predictably I’ve had some issues.
Not least being how and when to fit the training sessions in around my shift work and regular Tang Soo Do sessions. But despite these problems and despite coming down ill the day after I started I am still at it.
Yesterday I managed to complete Week 1 Day 3 of the program. Tomorrow I plan on starting week 2 but may have to fall back to repeating week 1 again. We shall see how it goes.
But a funny thing, at least I think so, happened to me on the last run. I’d got to about run 6 or 7 out of the 9 when a cyclist tried to run me over so naturally I reacted. No, not like that … I simply said louder than usual that he should be on the road. I guess it took said cyclist a few seconds to realise what I’d said before braking and yelling back at me … as I had headphones on I didn’t catch what he said.
So took headphones off and cupped my ear as if to ask for it to be repeated … and there was me expecting a mouth full of invective when all I got was “and you should be running”.
I just laughed and said “Nope, I’m following a program and this is my walk section …” at which point I turned and continued my way. A full 20 seconds later the cyclist was still there dumbfounded that his ‘witty retort’ had turned out not to be so!
Well I thought it was funny.
