Project LB (Living Better)

I've still been doing my workouts. Well, at least the running ones. I've just been busy and not really updating. Sorry!!! I'll do my best to be better!!!

I'm in week 4 of couch to 5K. Today was day 2. It's still crazy hot, so I haven't attempted a non-gym run yet. I need it to get cooler so I can plan some of those - specifically ones that will include some hills since Central Park has them. I'm also thinking that I may try a practice run on the route during the week before my 5K.

Week 4 is that of the 3 min run/90 second walk/5 min run/2.5 min walk times two. This morning, I started my run segments at 4.6mph. I still felt really good after the 5 min run, and decided to push up to 5mph for the next 3 min run. Made it! And then my mind flashed to Jillian's admonition to not whimp out at the end of the workout but to push harder then, and decided to go for the 5 min run at 5mph. What the hell, right?

I made it!!! All 5 minutes at 5mph!!!

I gotta say...I felt slightly bad ass after that. I know I've got a long way to go, but that really felt good!!!
