Training

So far, training for my 5K is going well. The C25K program is a 3 day per week system, although, for my own goals I'm doing it 4 days.

This first week, the workout is 20 minutes, jogging for 1 minute and walking for 90 seconds. I started Monday and got halfway through before my cheering section turned on me, so we had to make our way home.

Yesterday, the boys were SO good and let me get the whole workout in with not even a sign of fussiness, and they even sat there while I lifted weights for a few reps! It was perfect outside too, so we sat in the grass and played until they got sleepy. I miss nice weather and fresh air.

While I know the treadmill is nothing like running on the street, as a 5K will be, it felt great to sweat (and I sweat a lot) and know that I was doing something for myself.

I'm taking today off from working out, but we'll still go out for a walk this afternoon, and I'll do two more days of the same workout this weekend.

I was planning to do double of each week to take things easy, but at least these first couple of weeks I may go ahead and do as prescribed. It all depends on how my ankle feels, really, and today it's pretty stiff, since I just got up and haven't been on it yet. It'll loosen up by our walk.

Hopefully, all this will be worth it on Monday when I get on the scale again!
