First 5K Challenge.
03Sep09
Lately, I’ve become very active. I’m working out 4-5 days a week, going for run/walks, taking classes at the gym, and practicing Yoga an average of 3-days a week. I’m becoming a runner. Don’t be concerned! I started off my running with 30-minute intervals of running followed by 2-minutes of walking. I’ve since then “graduated”. Now I’m running 1-minute intervals followed by 2-minutes of walking.
One of my fitness goals is to RUN! a 5K. Yes, that’s correct a 5K. Even though this seems like a daunting and challenging task, I am determined to get there. I’ve been told in the past that I can’t run because of my feet, but I’m proving them all wrong. With that said, I’ve decided to take on the task of competing my first 3K this September for a local charity (although, it’s still a 3K but I may do a run/walk if I can’t prep my body enough). I’m excited to train my body for this, and on average I can walk 1-mile in just 15-minutes!
I’m getting there, and making progress with each workout.

Have you tried the Podrunner podcast on iTunes? I would recommend it to prevent wearing yourself out. I know you’re injured at the moment, but once you are feeling better, try the podcast.
Be kind to yourself! (your own words to me, which I appreciated greatly) <3
Nice! Always remember biking, too!
