Into week three of Couch25K. It is still doable. I am not as exhausted as a few weeks ago, but still tired by Saturday. I might be able to do this!! I signed up for a 5K on the 22 nd . It’s the Head over Teal run for the Laura Crandall Ovarian Cancer Foundation. Not expecting to run the 5K. But will be putting ear buds in and doing another day of C25K. That should take about 1.75 miles and then I will walk the other 1.35 miles. It should be a fun day. I want to get into the habit of doing one race a month. One day I will be able to run the 5K. There are so many 5K races in this area. The Trak Shak has a web page of the races. There are multiple races every Saturday. There should be several races close to me each month. On Monday and Friday, I am still doing a mini-cross-fit work out. Wednesday are for C25K. The cross fit workout includes a 0.3 mile run around the dog park. There is 0.1-mile track which I run then stop to do calisthenics. Run another 0.1 followed by more calis
Another week of working out. I am exhausted by Friday. The workouts are definitely making me stronger but also making me sore. My legs are sore, my feet are sore, my back is sore. This is what it takes to get in shape and lead an active life. This week I started a couch-2-5K plan. The app is on my phone and it tells me win to walk and when to run. It is a 3 day per week plan. But I am only doing 1 day a week. It will take me months to be able to complete the 30-minute run. But the first day was easier than expected. I was able to complete it. This makes 5 days a week of exercise. Monday and Friday are mini cross fit days. Tuesday and Thursday are treadmill walking at Planet Fitness. Wednesday is a kettlebell workout followed by C25K. Growing more active every day! 💪
