Day 16

Wednesday 8/31/2011

I went running with Megan tonight.  I really enjoy running with her because I never get to see her at school anymore.  Also, she keeps me focused  so I won't give up.  But sometimes we do gossip more than worry about our walking time. =)
We ran in Megan's neighborhood again, so even though our distance was not the best, it was probably because we ran up so many hills!
I did Week 4 Day 2!  At first I really thought the workout plan for week 4 would kick my butt, but I love it  A month ago I would never have been able to easily run for 5 minutes straight, but now it is no problem.  And I really am feeling like I am closer to getting my goal accomplished.

(oh and the picture says distance run, but it was week 4 day 2 for sure!)

Work out
Brisk five-minute warmup walk, then: Jog 3 minute, Walk 90 seconds, Jog 5 minutes, Walk 2-1/2 minutes, Jog or 3 minutes, Walk 90 seconds, Jog 5 minutes, 5 minute cool down.

Day 15

Monday 8/29/2010

I went walking  1.5 miles with mom.

Day 14

Sunday 8/28/2011

Today I went running with Megan at the Wellness Center track.  We made great time!  Even though we went about the same distance as usually we were running for over half of the time.  Ad when I started running I was only running for about  8 minutes total and only for 90 seconds at a time.  Now I am running for 5 minutes at a time!
We walked the opposite way on the track because there was no one else running when we got there.  It was fun but weird.  Halfway through a creepy started walking along the track but luckily Megan had some pepper spray just in case!

Work out
Brisk five-minute warmup walk, then: Jog 3 minute, Walk 90 seconds, Jog 5 minutes, Walk 2-1/2 minutes, Jog or 3 minutes, Walk 90 seconds, Jog 5 minutes, 5 minute cool down.


My stats so far

I am not always consistent, but I never give up!

Monday I went running, and I felt like i did really well.  I went at 7:15 with mom who walked.  Then I went home to get ready for my first day of my second year of college.  It really well; I really like all my classes especially ceramics and child psych.

Tonight was the last night of week three, and it kicked my butt!  So I might do some of week three again before moving on to week four.  I went 1.99 miles and mom walked 1.2 miles.  I went in the evening again which I think is a lot harder.

Day 8

Sunday 8/14/2011

Tonight I went running at the Wellness Track with Camille.  I slacked off a lot this week, so tonight I got tired really quickly.  A random runner gave me some running tips, so hopefully they help!  I'm still trying to decide if he is friends or just a creeper.

Day 6

Sunday 8/7/2011


Sunday I woke up at 5:30 and went running before work/church.  I was the only person on the track so I felt really sketchy.  I felt great running and did not get too tired.  Sadly, however, I forgot to cut the GPS in my C25K app so who knows how far or fast I ran. =(  I'm thinking though that I probably ran a 5 minute mile though. =D This week now (my birthday week!!!!) starts week three of training which is a little more intense so hopefully I will do fine.

work out

Brisk five-minute warmup walk. Then alternate 90 seconds of jogging and two minutes of walking for a total of 20 minutes.  Five minute cool down walk.

Monday I went running at pm with Megan because I am working early in the morning this week.  I really enjoyed having a running buddy.  We ran in Parkwood Estates II which it is hilly so it was a lot different from running on a track.  My stats were the worst so far, but I did not feel tired while running.
