Finding Radiance

It’s only Tuesday?  Why does it feel like Wednesday or Thursday?  Today started week 4 of C25K.  This workout was:  5 minute warm up walk, then 3 minutes of running followed by 90 seconds of brisk walking.  Then 5 minutes of running followed by 2.5 minutes of brisk walking.  Repeat that and then cool down.  [...]

Week 9 – week freaking 9!!!!!!! That’s 30 minutes of jogging. Okay, I can’t do a 5K in 30 minutes yet, but I can do 2 miles! That is an improvement on my time of a 17 minute mile.Funny how I see the progression of adding distance. I remember being nervous about jogging 1/2 mile. [...]

This weekend was a virtual 5K at 3FC. Do the 5K anyway you like over the course of the holiday weekend. I decided to see how far I could get, knowing that I did 2 miles earlier this week. Well – I jogged the whole 5K! I actually did 3 1/4 miles just to make [...]

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 great. [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Did Day 2, Week 2 of C25K today.That is jogging for 90 seconds alternated with 2 minutes of walking. I did 2.25 miles with that today. Need to map out a 3.1 mile walk so I can know the distance I need to cover. For the last 90 second jog – I did a little [...]
