Okay, so needless to say.. I found out within 5 minutes that I have never been so out of shape before in my LIFE. Mondays workout was great, although pretty challenging for me. I am almost ashamed to say I can barely run for 8 minutes. Yes you heard me right. I feel like I should win Lazy Blonde of the year award or something for how pathetic I was.
Our first week of the Couch to 5KM is us jogging for 1 min, then walking for 1.5 mins X 8. Yes, it sounds simple & easy. My pride has officially been struck with a very large arrow. BUT I feel better about myself becauuuse even though Monday’s workout sucked royally, yesterday’s wasn’t AS bad. Granted I still wanted to die, but the first part felt easier. Might just have been my imagination but whatever it was I’m hoping it’ll stick around for tonight’s run. I’m even a little excited for tonight. Even though it hurts & I want to stop part way, I love the feeling of knowing I did it. I pushed through, I forgot about the pain for a moment & didn’t give up. The hurt & aches are all worth it because it’s the “good” kind. I’d rather be sore all day from working out than from actually injuring myself or for being overloaded on chips & pop & greasy food.
I am going to persevere. Why? So I can outrun the Zombies & look good doing it!
Tonight is workout #3 and I want to kick my ass a little harder. I want to put a little more “OOMMPH” into my step. While the plan only calls for 3 workouts a week, I think I’m going to try to fit one in on Saturday as well! Take that jiggly tummy! I will get rid of you!
