C25K...Week 1
Week 1 is completed and honestly, it wasn't that bad. We ran at 5:30 am on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Because I kept moving all day, I never felt sore. I am not a runner, I don't like running, and I'm not very good at running. BUT...I am starting to think that this program might be successful for me. Running intervals at a slow pace is a great idea. I am trying not to think about the coming weeks. I am still freaking out about the fact that I might actually be able to run for over 30 minutes (without stopping)! Everyone says that it is all mental and that is what scares me. I am ridiculously insecure about this whole running thing and I really can't picture myself doing it. Hopefully, after a couple more weeks of this program, I will feel more confident in my running skills. Thanks for all of your kind words! This is going to be an interesting journey for me.
I just started working on running too, good luck with your training!
Great job, Lauren and Mike! Sounds like you're off to a great start. Just take it one week at a time, and I'm sure you'll do great!
girl, you can do it! :)
good luck! after you post about the podcasts i started too! i ran wednesday, friday and today.
Go YOU! :-)
Go Lauren! You can do it! The hardest part is getting started.
That's awesome that you and Mike are doing this together. Having a running partner that you know is depending on you helps so much. Can't wait to read about your progress!
