Week 1 Completed!!!!!
So today I did it…I finished week one of C25K. I did my three days this week, and it felt awesome. I am not going to start the week 2 routine until this weekend, but I am hoping to get one extra day of week one training in. For my own mental state I just like to start each week on the same day. This morning’s run was tough, because I pushed myself. I walked faster, and I ran faster than I have in the last 2 work outs. The pay off was that I ended up completing ½ of a 5k in the 25 minutes today. That felt like a massive victory to me. So next week is 60 seconds of running and 60 seconds of walking alternating after my 5 minute warm up walk. I am nervous for it, but I am trusting in the program that I can do it. The program works for so many, that I have to trust in it and trust in my ability. I am starting to really enjoy going to the gym before work. By the time I’m on the road at 7:00AM I’ve finished a work out, gotten 24 oz of water in me, and had a healthy breakfast. It’s a pretty awesome feeling, and it gets the day started out right. I feel like I’m ahead of the game when I get into work each day. So the plan is to hit the gym tomorrow morning again. I hurt the last time I did 2 days in a row, but I know it was that good hurt that really pays off in the long run. I have accomplished week 1, and feel awesome about it….bring on week 2!!

Hell ya!! I finished week 1 today too!! I may start week two a day early. There's a 5k in Beverly when I'll be on week 7 so i figure if i can get myself a hair closer it will be good. I also figure that it will give me some time later on when i want an extra day or two with the same run before I move on. With the one I'm doing, week two is run 90 seconds walk 2mins. Hopefully 2 mins of walking is enough time to recover from the 90 seconds of running haha
