It is Wednesday, and it is Dave’s Australian football practice, and for me it means doing my Jillian’s workout. I haven’t done it for almost 2 weeks, and I kinda miss her:) This time I decided to try and do Level 2. OMG, I was all sweaty and exhausted but the feeling of challenging your body and answering to this challenge is so damn good. Love it!
I also found this cool top on Etsy.com. I think I need one:)
After a week of feeling bad, being super busy (Dave’s appearance at San Jose Fantasy Faire, end of Lent and Orthodox Easter) and also sometimes stressed out, I finally got back to my running training, and I am very happy about it.
Starting week 4 of my Couch-to-5K Training Plan I did the following:
Brisk five-minute warmup walk, then:
- Jog 1/2 mile (or 5 minutes)
- Walk 1/4 mile (or 3 minutes)
- Jog 1/2 mile (or 5 minutes)
- Walk 1/4 mile (or 3 minutes)
- Jog 1/2 mile (or 5 minutes)
The 5-min intervals were not that easy especially after one week break but I am happy and proud I did it.
I finally completed week 3 of my Couch-to-5K Training Plan:
Brisk five-minute warmup walk, then do two repetitions of the following:
- Jog 200 yards (or 90 seconds)
- Walk 200 yards (or 90 seconds)
- Jog 400 yards (or 3 minutes)
- Walk 400 yards (or three minutes)
This time I was running at a stadium again but another one. Interesting thing I’ve noticed: I find it both exciting and challenging to run at a new place. The only little downfall was the weather: it was a little hot for me. Need to think about when to run summer time – may need to switch to early morning runs – it is not going to be easy though since I am not a morning person.
What a beautiful day we have today! I wish I had taken my camera with me to the stadium. Great weather and a nice scenery just add to the joy of running.
I did day 2 of week 3 of Couch-to-5K Training Plan:
Brisk five-minute warmup walk, then do two repetitions of the following:
- Jog 200 yards (or 90 seconds)
- Walk 200 yards (or 90 seconds)
- Jog 400 yards (or 3 minutes)
- Walk 400 yards (or three minutes)
My legs hurt but I started feeling the change. Nice hot shower and massage afterwards – and I am happy.
Today was a day off from my running but I still wanted to do something. Dave left for his Australian football practice and I put on my Jullian Michael‘s workout and did level 1. The workout itself felt easy (yay!) but my legs hurt a lot from yesterday. It must be my body changing. Feeling good.
