Jogged for 25 minutes!

Today was C25K Week 6 Day 3. That was one long 25 minute jog. I took it slow and did about 1.5 miles. I could conceivably finish a 5K in under an hour right now

After the first 1/4 mile, it felt much better. That first start of the jogs just doesn’t feel that [...]

C25K Week 6

Did Day one of Week 6 of Couch to 5K. The end of Week 5 had a long 20 minute jog. Today was split into 3 jogs. 5 minute, 8 minute and 5 minute. I pushed on the last 5 minutes, just to do it. Got much further around than the first 5.

I’m going [...]

I ran a mile!!!

Today was Week 5 Day 3 of C25K. That means 20 minutes non stop of jogging. I did it!! And I wasn’t even out of breath. I went 1 3/8 miles, so that is about a 16 minute mile or so. I will take it!! I really, really think I can do the whole 5K. [...]

8 minute jogs

Today was Day 2 of C25K Week 5. That means two 8 minute jogs. No problem and I picked up the pace a bit on the second jog. Should be Tuesday when I do the 20 minute jog, if the weather isn’t pouring rain.

As my reward for getting into the 150s, I bought a [...]

It's the weekend!

Yay! Friday! Glad to have the weekend with no construction going on outside the house! Most of our front yard was dug up this week. I was getting ready to yell holy hell at them, thought they had their machinery on my garden bed, but they were just right along side it. It’s a nice [...]

Happy Friday!

It’s the start of the weekend, yay!Did my upper body bowflex workout, a short 3 mile bike ride (bank and store) and Couch to 5K Week 4 Day 1.5 minute jogs in this one. It was fine, my legs still feel heavy though. I don’t care for that feeling very much. 3 miles of that [...]

Weigh in day!

Yippee!! I lost 1.6 pounds this week, which puts me in the 150s!! Yay!!! I think the jogging and biking was a good exercise change up to keep the pounds coming off. Wish I could lose this much every week!

I was supposed to do C25K Week 3 Day 3 today, I use the little [...]

Couch to 5K Week 3

This week alternates a 90 second jog/90 second walk and a 3 minute jog/3 minute walk.

I went to the high school down the street (since I was going out in the evening) and used the outdoor track. On the last go around I decided to time how long it took me to do one [...]

Beautiful weather!

Today was just gorgeous! I had a 3.5 hour drive to make today, but was able to get in my run training, and bowflex. Plus a nice 30+ minute bike ride.

Started Week 3 of C25K today. I had no problem doing the 3 minute jogs. Maybe I don’t give myself enough credit for all [...]

Weigh in day!

Well – lost 0.4 pounds today. I am exactly 160, didn’t dip into the 150s. If I can’t get there next week…… LOL!Did a lot of exercise today. Walked to Dunkin Donuts as per usual Wed brekkie. However, they were closed for renovations! So went back home and drove to a different one.

I then [...]
