Doing Stuff!

I have been keeping up with my couch to 5K efforts even though the app I was using broke on me!  I did get a refund.  One day I was out doing the program and I thought, "This is a really long minute!"  And then I realized: the length of a minute didn't change, the app quit working!  So I have made my own interval workout and am using that.  I miss my coach, Erin, though! 

The interval I'm doing now is 2 min walk / 2 min run. 

The other day I was out really early (maybe 5:30) and the snow on the mountains was pink from the sunrise.  It was beautiful.

Hope you're doing well in MT and that you get a dry running path soon!

Another C25K Outing

Today was day 5 of my training program and it was the same as the last.  So I bet day 6 will either have a longer run or a shorter walk.  It's a really good program and the coach makes me smile.  So it's good.  I went out around 6:30 am so I could beat the heat.  Got up to maybe 90 today.  Didn't want to practice running out in that heat!

Today I really tried to breath in through my nose, not my mouth.  I think that will help me not gulp air.

Yay me!

I already did my training program today!  I went out before I started work (at 7), so it's nice to start my day feeling accomplished!

I think today's program was exactly the same as the first day's session.  3m walk / 1m run, 6x.  Session 3 is 8 minutes longer, so it will be interesting to see what it consists of. 

I did something!

And you already know about it, since I told you yesterday.  But I'm making it official with a post!

I started a couch to 5k program yesterday.  Usually, I don't run for 100 years.  Then I run 3 miles.  Then I am broken and don't run for 100 years.  So I decided to not do that!  Yesterday's program was to walk 3 minutes, run 1 minute.  6 rounds of this.  Felt good.  After that, I walked over to the gym.  Lifted some weights and then walked home.  It was a good exercise day.

Not sure what I'll do today, probably go for a walk.  Then do "the program" day 2 tomorrow.
