W3D2

So, it looks as though it has been a long time since I have worked out, but in actuality I was on vacation in Paris where we walked more than 8 or 9 miles a day! I count this as working out. We also climbed approximately a million stairs. I caught a nasty virus from my mom on the plane ride home, so I spent this week resting and now I am back to it. Three whole minutes at a time. I was worried I wouldn't be able to do it, and the last 3 minute run was tough towards the end but I didn't let my brain talk me out of it and I did it!

Week 3 Day 1

So today was the day we started running for 3 whole minutes! And it didn't suck! Yay!

Week 2, day 2

Last night I did day two of week two , or day 5. It was much better than sunday. I was stronger and made it through with minimal panting. I also wore my new super flat shoes. They were great. I am made for minimal running shoes.

Let's try that again...

So, I started the couch to 5k, and then somehow, as usual, life got in the way. So, now I am back at it and tonight I ran day 4. It was a lot harder than days 1-3 for me. The increase from 1 min of running to 1.5 min of running took a lot out of me. I also think I was dehydrated which didn't help. But, I'm back on the wagon and should be running three miles in May :) I will probably even take my running shoes to Paris......

Day 2!

So today was day 2 of c25k as it shall now be known. I was definitely not clever enough to come up with that on my own. It was a good day. I put on my work out playlist and ran my little heart out. I noticed it was much easier today, and my heart rate did not get as high as last time. My breathing was not as bad either. Probably a fluke, but it made me feel good.

Todays work out:

5 min walk

1 min run, 1.5 min walk x8

5 min walk

1.61 miles.

Couch to 5k.

So, its been a while since I posted. I did P90 until Labor day and then things sort of fell apart. It definitely helped me, but rotating between two workouts got tiresome after a while. It didn't work well for my sort of ADD mentality. So, now that I am back from Hawaii (I did get a new swimsuit!) I am up for a new routine. My friend Maggie just finished her first 5k using couch to 5k, and I am so impressed my her, that I am going to try the same thing. I started tonight, and it is a nine week program, so I should be ready to run a 5k in mid-January.

Todays work out:

5 min walk warm up

1 min run, 1.5 min walk X 8

5 min walk cool down

Anyone want to join me? :)

Day 34

Yesterday I took my day off instead of today so that I could go eat a fancy restaurant week dinner at the Capital Grille! So, today was day 34, and I ran/walked for 45 minutes, 2.3 miles.
