Well I did it! I jumped right in and did W1D1 on the C25K program. (Anyone feel like that is too much alphabet soup?) Wednesday I met Trish up at at the gym and we did an awesome workout together. We both felt strong and really good about our run. No problems making it through the official workout.
So yesterday I decided to push myself a bit harder; I cranked up the speed of my running segment by .5mph. And I did it too! It was harder - I definitely pushed myself! But I did it. I have two more times to do the first week's workout, then I'm on to week two where I alternate running for 90 seconds and walking for 2 minutes. I really do not think that will be too hard. Pushing, yes, but doable.
Today I go off to work on the eliptical for awhile. Taking a break from the treadmill, I think. Maybe, we'll see. Technically I am only supposed to train for the 5k 3 times a week and take a break one day between. But that doesn't mean I should stop working out, I should just do different things.
Haven't weighed myself today, but I am getting close to the 25lb mark! wow - that is a lot of weight. I can finally see it now, too. Makes it all feel good. OK, off to the gym now.
