For once I am a little ahead of the game on my link up for SUNDAY SNAPS...and yes, I am liking it!!
Anyway, even though I haven't been talking about it much on the blog....because for some reason when I do, it usually throws me off - at least where fitness is concerned, I am currently obsessed with completing a 5K (running the entire way). I am sure to many of you that is a walk in the park but for me it is a huge milestone. I
am was the true epitome of the "couch potato" in the Couch Potato to 5K training program. In the early weeks, I was doubting myself at every turn. This morning I completed week 7 and only have 2 weeks to go! I have been using the timed version as opposed to the distance version, so I will still have some work to do after the 9 weeks are complete, but people I AM DOING IT!!!!! My first 5K is scheduled for October 27th.

| Got some bright new running duds ...and best of all they were on the cheap!!!! |

| After Week 7, Day 2....I managed a smile! |

So far I have only attempted one outdoor workout (I think in week 4)....
usually I hit the treadmill, but I did an outdoor run this morning and managed to survive,
humidity and all. |
I hope that you are having a wonderful weekend! Don't forget to link up tomorrow...the link will go live just after midnight on Sunday morning. Hope to see you there!
Way to go Jules! My friend and I are doing the same thing - our 5k is Thanksgiving morning. We did it last year and ran maybe a 1/4 of the way...this year our goal is to run at least half. My dream is to run and actually be able to breathe afterwards lol!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! I tried the same program, but have already failed. You are inspiring me to try again!
ReplyDeletewoohoo wtg ms. jules!!! i have tried the c25k and got to week 7 & totally flopped so MAJOR kudos to you and i hope to be making the same boasts in a few months when dean and i start running. (hoping he is gonna whip my butt into doing it once and for all as running is my final frontier where exercise is concerned!)
