This is probably going to be kinda short...I am resting my legs while Zoe takes a super long nap, and I thought it would be a good time to write a quick update!
I will begin with exercise...resting my legs is necessary right now because I worked HARD this morning! I am in the middle of Week 7 of the Couch to 5K program, plus my 1/2 marathon training plan starts today. I also was googling other 1/2 marathon training programs last night...just to see what I would be expected to do today if I thought I was going to run the one in September. SO - here is where I came up with today's workout. C25K called for a 5 minute warm up walk followed by 25 minutes of running (or 2.5 miles). Active Trainer's walk/run training program called for 5 minute warm up walk, followed by 3 minute run, 2 minute walk, repeated 7 times (35 minutes), then 5 minute cool down. The running plan I found (and didn't save) said 4 miles today. Here is what I did: 5 minute warm up walk, 25 minute run, 2 minute walk, 3 minute run, 2 minute walk, 3 minute run, 5 minute cool down walk. TOTAL was just over 4 miles. Whew. Unfortunately, for the first time I had to use a treadmill...I am not a fan. After speaking with a good friend this afternoon, I believe I am running too fast. I'm not sure when (or if) I will hit a wall, but I am nervous to try slowing down! I have always been more of a "sprinter"...only running when necessary to get somewhere fast or get away from someone or get to the ball. Never ran for sport! So, we'll see what happens.
Diet-wise, I have officially signed up with Weight Watcher's online!!! I am very excited, actually. Kind of getting bogged down with following my own plan and doing my own counting. Plus, I am really excited to start using some of their recipes!
Baby is awake and it's time to get the boys. All for today!
xoxo
