I Found My First 5k to Run

I found my first 5k to run. It's the Boulder Sunrise. It's on June 5th, & I'm in week 4 of c25k, so I really have to stay on schedule! I can choose the non-profit I want to run for and 50% of my fees and any donations I collect go to that organization. My dad was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's, so I'm really excited to be able to run my first race for him! Wish me luck! I'm going to need it!

I'm Going to Redo W3D3 of #C25K

I did complete it, but I don't think I'm ready to jump from 3 minute runs to 5 minute runs yet.  I can do the first 2 minutes ok, but that last minute I feel like I'm dying.  My breathing is out of control.  Instead of killing myself to stay week for week on this plan, it might be good for me to week 3 over.

I'm Still Running, and So Proud of Myself

I really can't remember the last time I was really proud of myself for something.  But last night I was.  I couldn't stop smiling.  I must have looked like a goof ball!  Last night was W2D1 of C25K, and that means an increase in run time.  Not a huge increase, but big enough that I was worried.  I wasn't sure if I could do it.

I knew that when the first of the series of runs started, the last thing I wanted to do was stare at the countdown clock, so I flipped my phone over so I couldn't see the counter.  First run done, and hey, that wasn't too bad.  Then the second run, and third, hey, I'm actually going to finish this!  Only 2 more runs to go!

Fourth run, thought I was going to die.  Stupid skinny bitch to the left of me was WALKING at my run pace!  Okay, there's some motivation!  I CAN DO THIS!!!  Fourth run down, fifth run, here I come!

I DID IT!!!!
