This week I started
week 6 of C25K.
I am continually amazing myself
with this program.
As y'all might remember
from my last update post,
I was struggling a LITTLE bit
with running 90 seconds straight.
Well, last Friday I ran (jogged)
20 minutes
IN. A. ROW!
I think this is some kind of
invasion of the body snatchers thing.
I have found that running
really is a mental thing for me.
I know it may sound
a tiny bit crazy
but I actually play mind games
with myself to just
keep my feet moving ;)
My end goal is to complete a 5k
so I am trying not to
focus on weight loss;
because I do not want to get discouraged.
So I have not weighed myself
since I started the program.
But I am measuring myself once a month.
And in the 1st month
I lost
11 inches overall!
I was super excited about that.
I will say that I still
loathe exercise
and I still struggle every
single time I run
but I am doing it and
I am not giving up
even though I want to really
bad sometimes.
I seriously think about doing C25k all the time! But I've never actually started. This might be motivation too, though! Good for you!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGo you! I am *actually* doing Week 5 this week, so you're ahead of me. It is weird to think how far we've come since it's started, isn't it? When running 90 seconds seemed nearly impossible? And now I look at my run interval and go, "90 seconds left? I can do that!" :)
ReplyDeleteWOW that's amazing! The distance, the weight, everything!! Good for you :)
ReplyDeleteGood for you!! I've heard about the C25K but never actually looked into it.
