Week 1 Day 1 - C25K Training

January 15, 2011 - Week 1 Day 1 of my Couch to 5k Training -
5 minutes warm-up walk
60 seconds of running & 90 seconds of brisk walking intervals for 20 minutes
5 minutes cool-down walk

I survived.... I wasn't sure that I would... but I did. And for that I am proud!

I went over to Lacey Price's house and used her treadmill while she used her eliptical and we jammed to some tunes. The 5 minute warm up walk went great! I'm thinking the whole time, "This feels good! I'm glad I'm doing this!" Then the 60-second run comes..... and by the end of 60-seconds I was thinking, "WHY THE HECK AM I DOING THIS??????????? I'M GOING TO DIIIIIIIIIIIE!!!!!!!!!!" But, I pushed on. The 90-seconds of walking was very helpful at getting myself together, helping me push through the next 60-second run.

So now, how do I feel? I feel great! I feel like I made a huge accomplishment by pushing through the workout! I never once skipped a 60-second run or gave up! I pushed on and I feel great!!!
