Run Jenny Run Day 6

5K training day 6: End of Week 2 !!!! We ran at the Jordan Park Way Trail again. I do my last run of the week out side to acclimate my self to the out door running. My only problem is I don't know how far I run. Does any one have any ideas? The run was good not as hard as last weeks outside run but the terain was flater. This painting for three days and then running twice has been an adventure I am definately getting my sweat on :)

Run Jenny Run Day 5

5K training day 5: So I ended up skipping Friday's run because of the getting ready to redecorate my kitchen this weekend ,so I did day five this morning. it was really hard to get my self to do this run I am not entirely sure why even on Friday when I did have time I just wanted to sleep. I will do day six tomorrow night which gives me over 24 hours between and then I can still get my three runs in this week. My motivation is waning a little bit (I think spending the last two days sanding and painting is having an effect [we're redecorating our kitchen] ) but I have a plan of attack and I will do this!! I have always wanted to be a runner but have let excuses hold me back but I know I can do this. I pushed through the run this morning, the last two segments almost killed me, so i know I can keep going and do this. I like the fact that I am pushing my self to do something so far out of my comfort zone.

Run Jenny Run Day 4

5K Training Day 4: First day of week two Increase of running time kicked my trash tonight. I was excited to come home and run tonight. I am realy liking having a goal to work towards. I have also found my self having a desire to be more active in general taking the stairs at work taking more walks etc... oh and a shout out to all my peeps, holla ! hey, it made me laugh ;) and yes I do realize I am way to white to for that to sound cool lol :)

Run Jenny Run Day 3

5k training day 3: Ran outside for the first time with Sam :) not sure on distance but I did two more running intervals than normal (cause Sam didn't know when to stop lol) with a total time of 40 minutes. First week down :)

Running outside was harder than running inside. I think it will be good to do the two days inside to get used to the new interval before I go outside on Sundays. Training out side I think will be important because the Race will be outside and it is definitely different.

Run Jenny Run Day 2

5k training day 2: I was able to up my speed to 4mph and did 1.42 miles :) , just keep swimming (running) right :) I also think I have found my race :) lots of smiley faces make me happy :)

Little harder to get started today I had planed to do it in the morning but ended up reading my vampire romance book instead :} vampire with only one tooth. but I did do it!

Run Jenny Run Day 1

Day one of training for a 5K: So I found a program that is from couch to 5K in 9 weeks. It starts out week one 5 minuet warm up then run for 60 seconds then walk for 90. I also did a 5 minuet cool down for a total of 30 minuets. I ended up run/waliking 1.39 miles with a max speed of 3.7 mph. Yeah!! :) Now, I just need to find a 5K. Does any one know of one in August or early September? or a good sight to find one?
