Week Two: The REMIX of the Couch to 5k program is well on its way.
I had stated in last week’s post that I was re-doing the second week, because due to an illness, I didn't complete Week Two. I knew I wouldn’t be satisfied at the end of this program if I cut corners. Thus, the REMIX.
Week Two is really pretty easy for me. The program is six intervals of running for 90 seconds, and each one is followed by two minutes of walking. The 30 minutes goes by in a flash.
My goal is to always run a little faster on each interval. I also do one of the intervals on an incline to challenge myself a little more.
As much as I complain about running (you can read my whining here) I always feel so much better after I run. It gives me more energy throughout my entire day. I’m not ready to say I like running yet…we are definitely not on those terms at this point. But I will say I’m warming up to the idea.
I am also
It will definitely be an adventure for this snow-phobic (who am I kidding? Anything-below-70 degrees-phobic) Los Angeles girl. Any Denver runners out there have some good advice for me? I have the feeling I am going to need it.
If you are running in Denver next week and you see a girl in her mid-20s in a parka, laying on the sidewalk panting for breath in an embarrassing, pathetic sort of way, say hi. That will probably be me after running 200 yards down the street.
