I just found out there will be a Half Marathon in my town in October! I've been seeing some friends on the internet find success with C25K (Couch to 5K running plan). I've been Shredding for a week+.
All that combined has made me start C25K again today. Week 1, Day 1. I completed C25K about 4 yrs ago, and about a year later ran a half marathon. It was a high point for me! I floundered with running after that, for years, for a number of reasons (lost my mom, Dad got sick & I am the health/financial caregiver, kids needs changed, job got emotionally draining, etc., etc., in a word LIFE happened, big time).
It has been harder to get back into running now that my kids have hit the age of after-school activities, but as a teacher, I feel summer is my only shot to start--if I can't get it going now, I can't get it going anytime. So wow, after W1D1 (Week 1, Day 1) I realize I have my work cut out for me.
C25K - W1D1
Run 1, Walk 1.5 min
Time: approx. 40:00
Distance: 2.46 miles
It may not be an HM in October (big goal), but I'd love to complete the 5K they are having alongside the HM. Either way, I hope to run more, while continuing to Shred!
