C25K Final Run!!!

We did a 5k race! And it was easy! and fun! and chilly!

the 5K was much easier than I remember it being the first time through this program. Now I just have to figure out how to stay motivated and continue running.

But seriously - that was kind of fun.

I'm thinking of adjusting the one hour runner program to include some split times to keep it more interesting. Mark thinks we should just do this as is.

Weeks 1 – 3: 30 minutes, 3 days a week.

Week 4: Run 30 minutes, 29 minutes, 35 minutes.

Week 5: Run 30 minutes, 32 minutes, 38 minutes

Week 6: Run 30 minutes, 33 minutes, 41 minutes

Week 7: Run 30 minutes, 34 minutes, 45 minutes

Week 8: Run 30 minutes, 36 minutes , 49 minute

Week 9: Run 30 minutes, 38 minutes, 54 minutes

Week 10: Run 30 minutes, 40 minutes, 60 minutes

I could have been "done" today but Mark skipped the last run, and we have the little 5K coming up on Sunday so I think we'll just let that be the end of the program.

I'm ready to move on to something new - getting a little bored, but also feeling like this is easier.

I ordered tights! can't wait for them to come - putting shorts on when it is chilly isn't very inviting even though I'm warm enough once I get going.

I'm proud of myself for going today. Lots of rain forecast and the sky was blue so I actually got over my apathy and went. Mark didn't join me.

I think I went a little faster today - it is hard to tell from the garmin readout, but I had a higher average speed. And I felt nauseous.

next run is a 5k, and the post thanksgiving race is in a week.

went at dusk - cool and beautiful night.

This is the first run that felt easy to me. I probably could be going faster, but it is just nice not to be struggling.

We signed up for another 5K on the sunday after thanksgiving. I hope it doesn't rain!

in NYC with Mark! Another two laps around the reservoir in Central Park. Sluggish, tired, post-debut but it was great to be outside.

In New York City! Ran around the reservoir in Central Park - lots of people doing the same.

We ended up bailing out of the Miles for Migraine 5K last weekend. After falling off the run-wagon for a few days I wasn't super motivated - and then I woke up to a torrential rain storm. It just wasn't happening.

I signed up for something else the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Hopefully that goal will stick.

back at home and running outside with Mark :-)

went down to the running path along Berry - what a nice place to run. And not too bad a run either.
