Music Mishap and sports bra malfunction - Nothing gonna stop me!!

Week 5, Day 1 was quite the challenge!  The training was:

Warm up
5 min jog
3 min walk
5 min jog
3 min walk
5 min jog
Cool down

I chose to do this run on a cool night after coaching soccer as I was full of energy.  I figured that with the breaks, it would be easier to do the 5 minutes.  I completed the training and fist pumped in the air. I was so proud of myself!

Two days later on Friday night, I set out to complete day 2 of the program.  The previous 4 weeks were repetitive of day 1 so I didn't review the plan before starting out....BIG MISTAKE!

The app announced that I should start jogging.  I didn't listen to what she said but just started jogging...and jogging..and jogging.  I began to wonder if the app had frozen because I knew I had run further than the previous training day and it definitely felt like I had been jogging for 5 minutes.  I didn't know what to do.  I didn't want to stop to check my phone because I needed to keep going but if it was frozen, I was never going to be told to stop.  Just when I was about to give up, she came on and told me to start walking.  WHEW!

As I started to walk and pump my arms, my sports bra decided to pop open.  YEP...it did up in the front and the clasp popped open.  Luckily I had a tank top on underneath and I'm not well endowed so it wasn't a complete disaster.  I still had to awkwardly put the clasp back together while some teenage boys stared at me.  Embarrassment over, I continued to walk. Again, I felt like it was taking forever for her to tell me to start jogging again.

Finally, she came on and this time I actually listened...She said jog for 8 minutes, this is run 2 of 2.  I actually swore out loud at the app and then started to laugh.  I had run for 8 minutes without even realizing what I had done.  Goes to show you that your mind really does control your actions.

As I was running my last 8 minutes, the music decided to go funky.  It sounded like there was an alien in my ear buds and then total silence.  My thought was "OMG, you have to be kidding me!!!" Not only am I expected to run for 8 minutes but the only thing I have to listen to is the sound of my own breathing.  I made the decision to suck it up and settled into the rhythm of my breathing.  It was actually comforting to hear my steady breathing as my feet kept time with the pavement.  I almost felt like I was meditating.

When she told me I was finished, I once again fist pumped the air!!  Look at me go!  I'm a superstar who will not let anything stop me from reaching my goal.  I can do this!!
