Running
Stage 4 - yeah baby!
It is a big jump - but I managed to complete it this morning. Left knee grumbled on and off through it and feels a bit stiff now, left ankle was very unhappy in the final 5 minute run, so for the last minute I ran on the path, figuring that was due to uneven surface and it got better. They were cutting the grass as I was running round the field and the difference to run on mown lawn is amazing.
But I did it! and not feeling really dead either. Not in any mood to keep running at the end of it mind you, but it wasn't like I needed to lie down and die either. So that is good.
One massive fail though - I spent a fair bit of time* in the last week using garage band to make a running program for this level. There is a C25K download that is just the voice prompts, and you add your own music. so I did. And it is on my computer and all fine, and this morning I tried to put it into my iTunes - and it seemed to save it as all the separate components. And so I figured, well fine, and moved it onto my iPod directly - and I could see it was on there - but then I couldn't find it on my iPod to run. This is very annoying - why the hell would a Mac progam that is designed for you to make your own podcasts not accept them in other mac programs or products. I am actually going to have to find the time to do the tutorials and stuff for this program aren't I? meh.
and now back to the real world of writing my assignment. due today, need to do the final draft.
