Couch to 5K Week 2

May 21, 2013

Week Two was rough!

The weather was overcast so lounging in bed was extra tempting.

I managed to slug my way through each workout, motivating myself with the thought of how good it will feel to finish my races. I also had a mini celebration. At one point I was ready to quit and went to shut my apps off to realize I was at my last set of run/walk combo! That was a real biggie for me. It’s nothing for me to channel my inner Steven Slater and quit this b*tch, but I pulled through and finished.

The workout this week was about 28 minutes.  To make myself do at least 30 minutes, I walked at a brisk pace for five minutes then began the apps training.

Week 2 instructs you to warm up for five minutes, then three times jog 90 seconds, walk 90 seconds, jog 90 seconds five times.  I know I need new sneaks.  My feet were killing me! I also plan to incorporate alternate days of stationary bike riding on my off days.  Summer gave a preview and I am FAR from ready.

Batman was my outfit for the week and the following were the tunes I listened to:

You Sexy Thing

Brass Monkey

Modern Love

Magic Carpet Ride

Mercy

Keep on Walking

Doo Wop (That Thing)

Paparazzi

Takeaways for this week:

  1. Stay hydrated.
  2. No one cares if your breathing is ragged.  Everyone in the gym is there for the same reason.
  3. Stretching feels oh so good!
