That is something that I never thought I would say....or think.... or do....or be.....a runner??? Well, I am almost done with the Couch to 5K program. I am really enjoying how running makes me feel after I am done. I feel strong! I feel really good about myself when I am done. So, I have decided to keep doing it! I have decided to sign up for a half marathon! It is not until September so I have plenty of time to keep training and practicing. I am planning on a 5K in May to start. I am really excited!
Yesterday I went on a 3.81 mi run outside. It took me 45 minutes with a 11:59 pace. I burned over 500 calories. I think this running has really accelerated my weight loss too! I lost 3.6 pounds this week for a total of 18.4 pounds!!! YAY!!!
I am really enjoying the running apps you can download. I got me a brand new iphone a few weeks ago and I am in love! I am using the imapymyrun app. It tells me all of my stats and maps out every step. I also just downloaded runkeeper. I am going to try that out this week sometime.
Have a great week everyone!
Wendy - that is so awesome! It seems like you did that fast! I just ran 3 miles without walking for the first time last week and it took me 2 months!!! hahaha I probably should have done the couch to 5K program - i probably would have done it faster! Good job and keep it up! I'm proud of you!
