I'M NOT GIVING UP!
So...technically day 2 was Tuesday, and I'd already fallen off the wagon! You're supposed to supplement the c25k training with some other type of exercise. So I went to my local 24 for some quality swim time, to find that the pool was closed! Something wasn't working, they'd fixed it, but needed 24 hours to let the water cycle through as it cleaned itself. Granted, I could've stayed, being in gym clothes and all, but I'd had my heart set on swimming and I didn't feel like doing anything else. So I left.
Wednesday, day 2 of training. I would've thought day 1 was the hardest. But I was pumped, starting a new routine, ready to get fit, got my goal up ahead..Getting out of bed day 2, an hour and a half earlier than usual? ROUGH. But I made it. My awesome c25k app, calculated my stats:
total distance: 1.89 mi.
total elevation: 1348.43 ft.
pace 15:52 min./mi.
speed: 3.78 mi./h.
projected 5k: 49:19 min.
calories: 390 kCal
Now it's not horrible, though I can't see myself running for almost 50 minutes straight, but it's a huge difference from my first day stats - which, incidentally, were made up because the app added a good half mile I didn't even run :-/. That aside, I made it through another day of training, and am already feeling better. I'm still tired, since getting up so early, and I'm not sure that anything really changes that quickly, but if I can stick with it, make good changes in my life..I see the light at the end of the tunnel!
And wonderfully, I made it swimming today! Only did 35 minutes, and then sat for 10 in the hot tub, let my muscles relax, but it was glorious! Hard, I haven't been swimming in months and months. But I love seeing all the hot guys at the gym so I'm gonna stick with it. Anyway, day 3 of training will be tomorrow and I plan to rock it. c25k all the way! #fancyfabulousfierce
