Well Jake was away in Cali all week. So that makes it a crappy week just to start off. But it also rained pretty much all week so I was not able to run but only on Tuesday. UGH for rain!!! All I can really say for this week is that I am glad that Jake got home early this morning!!!!
So even thought this is week 2 day 1 since I didn't' run but only one day last week i figured i would stay on week 1 of the program so that I wouldn't really mess it up. I really need to do it consistently. So today I ran and still feeling like I can't make it all the way through cause I am doing to much!! I think I saw on the C25k website something about podcast maybe I should see what that is about. I would rather something in my ear telling me when to run/walk. Ohh well another day 1 down. :)
Ok so the first week was a total bomb. I ran on Tuesday but that was it I was suppose to run 3 days a week. But with working 2 and then the ACSI festival Thursday I just couldn't fit it in. Jake also leaves for California for a week next week so I am not going to run this weekend cause I will be spending time with him. I guess if you count y game as a day then I ran 2 days :) ??!!!!
I will do better next week!!!
So I figured it was a bit hard to look at the stop watch while I was running and know when to start and stop. We are suppose to start with a warm up then run the walk then run the walk for a certain amount of time. so instead I just made a play list of songs to equal the amount of time and figured I would walk then run 2 songs then walk one the run 2. While was a little more that what the program start us doing. They only want you to run for 60 secs. then walk for 90. So at about the 3rd set of running. I was wiped. LOL I think I tried to push myself a bit to much!! We will see what i can figure out, maybe one more try.
So we started looking on the internet about running programs, not really knowing what is good and what isn't. This weekend I was at a women's event at GCC and some ladies and I were talking about it and one of the said that she said she remember some website that was about going from couch potato to 5k. I just started laughing. Could someone really come up with a program like that, seriously?? SO go figure!! i google Couch potato to 5k and what comes up. Couch Potato to 5k!!! LOL
This is the program we are doing its very cool and starts off easy everyone should check it out.
www.c25k.com , get is "C"couch 2 5K. wow people are brilliant. LOL
So I guess you can say that Jake took the 5K idea and ran with it. The next day he went to work and found the 5K, pretty much exactly when he wants it. So we are actually going to do it. We have to now to posted it on FB, LOL. The race is Sept. 11, and it benefits the Friendly kitchen in Concord. So its a good cause. He said that a few of the guys in the office might do it with us also. So we will make a little GCC team. :) Now we just need to find a program and figure out how to go from not really running to doing a stinking 5K.
Ok so we had a soccer game tonight. To catch everyone up since I haven't posted in a while. I have been playing indoor soccer at the Bow Fiedhouse for a few months now. Jake and I have started our own team, "CRUSH", for the session we are currently in. Anyway, after the game Jake comes up with the crazy idea that we should do a 5K. That is we found one some time in Sept. or Oct. we would have plenty of time to train and get in shape. Which I am all for getting in shape, I have been wanting to drop more weight for a while.
Speaking of weight since finding out about my eye/head condition in November I have dropped about 26 pounds. I still have at least 30 that I need to drop. UGH that seems like such a big number. :)
Anyway, so that's my crazy husband for you!!!!! We will see exactly how far his ides goes. :)
