Last week, I was able to train 3 days. I know it’s not the 4-5 I was supposed to do but I am trying. It was tough! If you don’t know, one of my 30 before 30 goals is to run a 5k. I am working on this goal and will be participating in my very first 5k on April 3rd with my husband.
Sometimes I feel like that lady, kids hanging on me, got laundry to do, and this and …… but the truth is exercise is not only GREAT for you physical health but also your emotional health. I’ve been doing my training on a treadmill. I found some great treadmill running tips and the picture from the Blog Losing Weight & Feeling Great.
Plans for this week:
Tuesday- run 1 mile, walk 3 minutes, run 1 mile, walk 3 minutes
Wednesday-.5 mile, walk 2 minutes X 4
Thursday- run 1.5 miles, walk for 3 minutes, run 1 mile, walk 3 minute
Saturday- .75 mile, walk 2 minutes X 4
About Rachel
Just this morning I’ve decided to up my walking efforts. In theory I walk 3 times a week but in practice it’s only 1-2 times. Exercise sure does help your emotional health. I wish you all the best for the week in keeping to your goals (which seem super-impressive to me!)
I know how it is trying to find time to run. I too am trying to get to a 5K. So far I got to a 4K before Thanksgiving and then I got sick. Now I just don’t have time to run and I don’t have a treadmill, I have to go out to run. This week I am hoping to get a run in on Friday. At least I got to ride my bike today.
Now I have to fit in strenghtening exercises too. Ai, I don’t know how to do this anymore.
Good luck on your 5K. I am sure you’ll make fine.
