I did it! I think.....

OK so I did the first C25K Day 1 thing last Sunday. Well I did it again today...on my treadmill. It's cold outside and I really hate the cold. Does this count?

I am kind of excited. I ran SUPER slow (as suggested) when I was supposed to run. Like maybe 3.5 mph and I think I was walking about 2.8-3 mph (my treadmill is super super old so I don't know how accurate it is, but I got my heart rate up). I mean I probably could have walked as fast as I was running (or jogging). But I really wanted to see if I could do it. I wanted so bad to do all the 60 second intervals. Guess what!?!?

I did it! I was able to jog for 60 seconds every interval for the entire 30 minutes. I even threw in an extra one during the cool down. I kept my heart rate in the zone. And I maxed out at 167 tonight. Much better than 200.
I'm going to keep at it. I can't swim for a few days because of my tattoo so I think I will do this instead. I think I might make Sundays a rest day. And I am going to stay on week one for a while at least I think. What do you think?
 
My numbers were good again today!

Good water intake today too.

  3. WAY TO GO!!!! See, just sloooooow it down. I think when I did C25K I maxed out running at 4.0 at the END. And I did all of my training on the treadmill. In fact, my first run outside EVER was for a race! LOL
