I SURVIVED MY FIRST WEEK!
Something clicked today, while I was jogging. I managed to get my feet up higher, move further forward, feel like I was actually running. The downside: my right leg stiffened up not too long after I started, stitches in my side, feeling like I was going to die. Today's stats are:
total distance: 2.19 mi
total elevation: 2802.82 ft
pace: 13:40 min/mi
speed: 4.39 mi/h
projected 5k: 42:28 min
calories: 390 kCal
I keep saying so and so day was the hardest, but for this - the first week - today was truly the hardest. Starting next week (which for me will start on Sunday), I'm supposed to move to 90 seconds of running, and 2 minutes of walking. However, even with the progress I've made (as my friend pointed out, it's a steep learning curve), I feel I could use a little more of the foundation. So I will repeat anywhere from 1 to all 3 of week 1's training schedule, so that hopefully it will get a little easier. But even with the little I've done, supplement by other things, I'm feeling a difference in me, my body. So I'm gonna do my best to stick with my grind. Notice how I went faster and further than my last training day. So if you haven't already, join me! There's a C25k app for iPhone and Android by Cool Running (Total C25K on Windows phone). Let's all run this race together! It's never too late to get in shape. #fancyfabulousfierce
