Run Jenny Run Day 13

5K Training Day 13: Day one week 4.5 - so after hurting myself monday I decided to take a few days off ( I did walk just not run) and because of this I decided I would repeat the previous weeks training regime but bump up my speed a little. In doing this I was able to get the furthest distance I so far 1.488 miles. What a way to start a day off :)

Run Jenny Run Day 12

5K Training day 12: End of week 4. So we didn't get to run yesterday so we set out to run in the neighborhood tonight. I got through my first set of intervals (about 18min) and started on the second three minuet run interval and the muscle on outside of my left leg froze up and I couldn't run any more. I walked out the rest of my time but the muscle is still frozen and really hurts. Any Ideas? This muscle has been an ongoing problem and seems to be getting worse.

5k Training Day 11: I ran out of time yesterday to run so I did it today. It was really nice to get positive feedback from people this week that I haven't seen in a while. It helps to know that there are those of you out there following this journey I'm on. Knowing that helped me get on the treadmill today when my motivation was waning. Thank you all and please keep checking in with me it totally helps. (Face book post)

Today was really really hard to get on the treadmill. I had to have Sam find my clothes and I basically went kicking and screaming like a three year old. There is one part of me that wants to keep running to prove to my self that I can meet the goals I set that I can move my body to be able to keep doing what I need to do to be stronger. i want to lose weight too but I can't look at this as a device to lose weight I need to keep them separate other wise I feel I will give up. I don't want to let those who are following me down so I want to keep going for them and that accountability is helping as well. I want to have more energy and not be out of breath when I go up stairs, to feel strong and capable. In spite of my sluggishness today I still got on that treadmill and did it today. Just keep swimming or running in my case. :)

Run Jenny Run Day 10

5K Training Day 10: First day of week four. I think every inch of my body is sweating, not used to that. So I know there was a debate on if I should add in a week or not and I decided or not and did the program as outlined and guss what I DID IT!! there were two five minuet intervals and two three minuet intervals with walking in between. I am glad i pushed my self and did it!

Run Jenny Run Day 9

5K Training Day 9: End of week 3!!! Just barely missed the rain running out side tonight. I am sure glad I have Sam to support me. I had a really hard time getting myself to run today. He said that when he is tempted not to do something that means do it right then. So that is what we did dropped everything and went and run. I still haven't decided on adding a extra week or not yet. I have till Wed. to decide. Love hearing your support keep it up! It totally helps!

Run Jenny Run Day 8

5K Training Day 8: Got through all my Intervals today!! I did the 90 second ones on a 4 and the 3minuet ones of a 3.5 but I was able to run the whole time on them. I was looking a head to next week and I scared myself a little it has me up to running five minuet intervals. I have a friend who is also doing a couch to 5K program and she said that she thought she should have added a interval between week three and four and I am thinking about doing that. What do you think?

Run Jenny Run Day 7

5k Training Day 7: Beginning of week three segments are run 90 walk 90, run 3 min walk 3 min and repeat. I did the best I could but just over half way through my last three minuet interval and I had to switch back to walking I did finish out my full 30 minuets and I will keep going on Wednesday. I also did over two hours of yoga today at my connecting Yoga and social work seminar. I also walked around the U of U campus. I also went to Matt's graduation andwalked around the SLCC campus. If I go down to Snow I would have spent time at every college I have gone to. Long busy day.
