I can't believe it's almost been a month since I started training. I feel so good!! Although the scale hasn't moved I'm not bugging because I'm more focused on clocking my miles every week and increasing my endurance.
Let's see. . .
Monday, July 26th I got completed 5 miles in about 1.5 hours (that's minus time wasted waiting on traffic lights). It was so cool. I felt like Rocky Balboa when I finished. After I settled down a bit I had a mild case of the shakes, which I think is normal b/c of the adrenaline.
Tuesday I jog-walked about 1/2 a mile and then did my weight training circuit.
Wednesday I actually relaxed. The most strenuous thing I did was an attempt at a Yoga DVD that I borrowed from the library.
Today (Thursday) I completed a 30 min interval session: 5 min warm up with 1 min walk/2mins jogging then a 5 min cool down. I made a great playlist for my MP3 player which helped keep me motivated.
Working my way up to a six-mile walk this week and then the Smyrna 5K on Saturday, Aug 7th.
Onward soldier!!
