Week 4: For All The Mos Before Me

I am done with Week 4! I was more mentally ready than I thought. It was not as dreadful as I had thought it was going to be based on what I have heard. This week was by far the most enjoyable one I have had.

I knew I had become addicted to this life when I found myself unpacking after a long international trip and heading out in the Calgary cold weather (-19 degrees) and completing my run. Sure, I could not feel certain body parts for a while but it was worth it! I guess what I am trying to say is that I am no longer the old me. Something's changed in me that has left me unrecognizable. I had two solid excuses not to run - the inclement weather and travel fatigue - but I pressed on. The rebirth of Mo!

I already started W5 and I like that I am running more than walking. I cannot wait for 5D2 today - and that's a sentence I never thought I'd say!

Congratulations Mosiby for completing week 4 of C25K in - 19 temperature. I don't think there would be any running in the UK if it was that cold here. Onwards and upwards to week 5

62 cookies? Ok... I’m looking at my tracker to see my total calories burned... I see a feast coming on 😂

Great job. Have a great run today and you’ll have done half of this!

62 cookies - it's all about perspective, haha. Thanks for the reminder: I can't believe I am halfway through.

Where do you see the cookie part on the couch to 5k app?

I use the US app and it does that estimation by itself, and usually with food. When I burned a total of 4,000 KCal, it estimated that to be about 12 avocados and 3,000 KCal was about 20 tacos. You get the drift now, haha.

Must get that US app! Mine usually estimates a 30 min session as about 400 kcal which is about a breakfast’s worth.
