C25K?

We spent pretty much all day at t friends house.  We basically sat on our butts and talked while our boys played.  We also ate and not the healthiest foods either.  When I got home I was tired but pushed through.  I had a salad with canned chicken on it and then the boys, Sadie and I headed out for a walk.  When I got outside I was inspired by my BFF, Sarah.  You see, she’s currently doing the C25K program to train for her upcoming Race for the Cure 5K in Omaha.  I couldn’t be more proud of her for doing this, for several reasons. 

I have looked at this training program several times and have been wanting to try it but just didn’t have the courage.  I figured what the heck and gave it a shot.  I wish I had one of those fancy phones that has an app for it, it would’ve made life much easier.  I used the stop watch on my phone and think I kept count accurately, in fact I think I did an extra run and walk.  It wasn’t too bad!  There were a couple times that I was looking at my stop watch wondering if I was close to being done with my 60 seconds.  But overall I enjoyed it.  I felt great when I got home, I even felt skinnier.  Does that ever happen to anyone else?  I’m hoping it reflects on the scale tomorrow. 

I did the C25K at the beginning of my walk and finished at about 1.5 miles.  I kept going and did a 2.29 mi walk.  I was going to post a picture after I finished by my MIL and BIL’s girlfriend stopped by so I didn’t get a chance to.  I was red and sweaty, I’m sure you can picture it. 

The C25K program says to do it 3 days a week, giving you a day of rest between work outs.  That would mean that my next workout would be on Saturday.  I’m not sure what our plan are for that day yet.  If I am not able to get it in then I will likely start the C25K on Monday.  Wish me luck!
