Couch to 5k: Days 2 and 3

Oh, Monday...I woke up to the realization that not only is today Monday, but it's a workout day, too! Double whammy. I was ultra tired, but I managed to get out of bed and carry on with my routine. I didn't post day 2 on Saturday, but i DID do it. Promise. I'm actually pretty proud of myself! Here are my stats from both day 2 (Saturday) and day 3 (today).

Day 2:

total workout time: 30 minutes 

(couldn't figure out if total workout time was supposed to be 25 or 30 minutes, so I cranked it up to 30 minutes)

Calories burned: 181

Total Distance: 1.88 miles

Day 3:

Total Workout Time: 30 minutes

Calories burned: 188

Total Distance: 2.0 miles

Today I have a lunch date with boyfriend, and I'm planning to go get some resumes printed and pass them out to schools...I feel like applying to jobs online isn't getting me very far. I do have an interview tomorrow, so I'll prepare tonight and hopefully shine tomorrow! Hopefully we'll get to see Harry Potter [eeeek] this week, and we leave to go out of town for a few days on Friday.

Time to go shower...I hate to be sweaty.

Couch to 5k

I know, I know. I keep hemming and hawing about exercising...i'll be motivated one day and not motivated the next. Ugh. But today I started a new program called couch to 5k. It's supposed to prep you to run  3 miles (a 5k) in just two months! Boyfriend started a few days before I did, but we're both doing it now. If you enjoy running (like I do) and want an easy way to start working out, go here to check it out!

Here are the highlights from my first day:

Total workout time: 25 minutes

Calories burned: 143

Distance walked/ran: 1.46 miles

It doesn't matter how fast or slow you walk or run, it's all based on time and/or distance. Today my goal was to do a 5 minute warm up walking, then alternate running for 60 seconds and walking for 90 seconds for a total of 20 minutes, and then I finished with a 5 minute cool down. I was able to push through, and I feel great. I'm hoping to alternate days...which means my next day is Saturday! Ick. But I think I can do it! Good luck.
