I woke up a little later than I wanted to, but after some breakfast, a little coffee, and a lot of water, I headed out the door. I put on my Chicago Bears baseball hat – to cover my major bedhead and turned the brim so that I’d be more aerodynamic 
. I was heading for the door when my son spotted me and took a double take. I asked him what was wrong and he told me that he doesn’t usually see me with my baseball hat on backwards. I asked him if it made me look any younger and he responded, “Kinda.” Well I took that as a yes and with that boost to my ego, I headed out for the day’s workout.
Today’s workout is a repeat of day 1 (see C25K plan), so I knew what to expect. On day one I ran with my wife who is also preparing for the 5K and she mentioned that I was running too fast. On day two I tried to slow it down a little bit, but the first couple of runs were hard not to hit for the fences and run at a very fast pace. The program calls for a jogging type pace, a pace where you could carry on a normal conversation. I knew any conversation I could have at the pace would have been difficult to understand, so I slowed it down the best I could. I typically run a out and back type of route, so the run back home was at a slower pace due to fatigue more than my self-control.
