Week 2, Day 2- 3rd time's a charm

Did Day 2 again on Thursday.  I actually did pretty well... wasn't fast but I made it through.  Day 3 tomorrow... skipped Saturday though, so it might not be fabulous... will see how it goes!

Week 2, Day 2 again...

Ok so I took several days off... and that was bad.  I could definitely tell.  Once again, attempted Week 2 Day 2 of the 5k plan, and once again, took breaks and ultimately quit.  Ran a total of 10 of the 23 minutes I was supposed to.  Oops.  I've really slacked off in both diet and exercise the past couple weeks, so this next week I'm really going to try to be consistent in running every other day and doing some other form of exercise on the days in between.  I did the Jillian Michaels Yoga Meltdown last night and ran/walked (albeit poorly) this morning, so I'm off to a good start.

Week 2, Day 2 (sort of)

Today I started week 2, day 2, which consisted of 3 minutes running alternated with 1 minute walking and ending with a 2 minute run... But I really just wasn't feeling it today... could definitely tell I skipped 2 days instead of 1 and hadn't been drinking enough water.  Ran a little bit, but cheated and walked most of the time.  Oh well, still got a decent workout.  Will try this one again on Saturday.

Week 2, Day 1

Guess I forgot to write about Week 1, Day 3... whatever.  I did it.  Started week 2 today, which is the opposite of Week 1: 2 mins. running, 1 walking, for a total of 10 runs.  My walking was definitely a lot slower and my running was pretty slow, too, particularly the last few, but I tried to push myself and made it through them all, slowly but surely.

Week 1, Day 2

Did Day 2 today and I think I did pretty well... It was the same as yesterday, 10 intervals of 1 min. running/ 2 walking.  Not much else to say... Still keeping on keeping on!

8 Weeks to 5k- Week 1, Day 1

I started my "8 Weeks to 5k" Plan today... I skipped running all weekend, so I missed 4 days instead of 2 and this one was actually easier than the 10 minutes, so I figured why not.  The workout consisted of a 5 min. warm-up, 10 1 minute runs with 2 minute walks in between, and a 5 min. cool-down (plus a few extra minutes of walking at the end until I got to my car).  My first few times running were actually pretty fast (relatively speaking), but I did slow down as I went.  Overall, it was a pretty good workout and I'm going to try to push myself and stay on track with the 8 weeks.  We'll see how it goes!

Still going...

I feel like I'm stuck on repeat... I went running again yesterday... took a 30 sec. break but tacked it on at the end... did a day from week 2 afterwards... still gonna do my 10 minutes for another week or so til I feel comfortable with it...
