So I just finished week 4! I can't believe that I'm doing this! I'm becoming a runner! I've read Roni over at
Roni's Weigh talk and be incredulous about becoming a runner and I thought, no way. I am never running. I like my yoga and Wii Fit and walking uphill on a treadmill. Turns out I really like the idea of getting outside and getting an amazing workout in in 30 minutes. I also apparently like the idea of signing up for 5 and 10k runs, especially if they benefit a charity. So I'm doing this.
Week 4 looks like this: warm up walking for 5 minutes, then repeat this sequence 2 times: run for 3 minutes, walk for 90 seconds, run for 5 minutes and walk for 2.5 minutes.
For those of you who know me, or who feel like you can never ever run, know that running 5 minutes at a time is a big accomplishment! Week 1 involves running for 90 seconds only and I thought that about killed me! If you have any urge to do your workouts outside and succinctly, you can do it!
So here is the plan for tomorrow: finish mowing the lawn with our new reel mower (talk about a workout!) and try out Yoga for Runners. Who wants to bug me and guilt me tomorrow to make sure that I do these things? :)
